Figure :2005 Kaohsiung City Actions to Counter Climate Change:
International and Domestic Partnerships
“The Dirty Man” Has a Dream to Become the Clean Ocean Capital of Taiwan
Due to the fact that the CO2 emissions per capita of Kaohsiung are extremely high and concentrated in a few industries and factories, if Kaohsiung can effectively better the energy efficiency in industry and promote voluntary reduction, the room for improvement for reduction of greenhouse gases will be amazingly impressive.
If we take a look around every major city in the world, KaohsiungCity is one of the few industrial cities that are mainly based on heavy industry yet have started to focus their attention on climate change and reduction of greenhouse gases. If its efforts work out, KaohsiungCity will serve as a model that other industrial cities can learn from.
