Transdisciplinary Research Framework on Climate Change Dynamic Decision-making.

Abstract

Sustainability transition on climate change, energy systems, and low carbon society is a big issue in 21 century. However, it’s not a linear question in a specific single research community. This study aims to contribute a transdisciplinary research (TDR) framework to support climate change decision-making as wicked problems. To achieve the global goal of 2050 Net Zero, it needs a science-based scenario setting for both adaptation and mitigation while making decisions and climate risk assessment in business and governance. From knowledge to actions, academics and non-academics are encouraged to engage in climate actions at the same time. This study delivers a system-dynamic approach to integrate the environmental, social, and economical components from participants and stakeholders with different backgrounds in TDR to reduce climate risks including resilient adaptation for physical risk and low carbon transition for transition risk. The TDR framework on climate change dynamic decision-making would be demonstrated through a case of the Carbon Neutrality Project of National Taiwan University.
