Delta Electronics Foundation Chairman Bruce Cheng congratulated the winners, and once again appealed that climate change is the biggest challenge faced by humans today. According to “Global Warming of 1.5°C” recently published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations, compared to pre-industrial level, human activities have caused approximately 1.0°C increase in temperature. Following this trend, between 2030 and 2052, the increase in earth temperature will cross the 1.5°C line of defense. By then, human society may face serious environmental impacts such as melting glacier, vanishing coral reefs and water shortage. Taiwan, an island surrounded by sea, should deal with the issue of climate change more actively. To make the public aware of the urgency of climate change, we’d have to rely on the media to exert social influence.
