Abstract
Taiwan’s climate change projections have always presented a challenge due to Taiwan’s size and unique meteorological and geographical characteristics. The Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and Adaptation Knowledge Platform (TCCIP), funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan, is a decade-long climate research project with the most predominant climate data provider and national adaptation policymaking in the country. This paper outlines the evolution of the project. It describes the project’s major achievements, including climate projection arising from participation in the WCRP Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP), dynamically and statistically downscaled data with resolutions up to 5 km grid, impact assessments of various themes, such as flooding, as well as the support of national policies through approaches including risk maps, climate data, and knowledge brokering.
Highlights
Taiwan is exposed to various natural hazards, such as typhoons, earthquakes, flash floods, and landslides, because Taiwan is situated in the central area of Western North
Pacific typhoon pathways [1] along the western Circum-Pacific seismic belt, which is expected to be exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change with increased frequency and magnitude
The TCCIP project has played a vital role in the climate adaptation research of Taiwan, simulating projections under different climate scenarios according to the most recent comparison Project (CMIP)
Summary
Taiwan is exposed to various natural hazards, such as typhoons, earthquakes, flash floods, and landslides, because Taiwan is situated in the central area of Western North. National Science Council ( Ministry of Science and Technology) began to fund a ries of climate research projects to develop projections for purpos. National Science Council ( Ministry of Science and Technology) began 2toof fund a se aimed at different purposes, including the Consortium for Climate Change Stu ries of climate research projects to develop practical climate projections for purpose o (CCliCS), the TCCIP, and the Taiwan Since integrated program on research.
