Delta Climate Salon analyzes the latest UN climate report
DEF 2021/10

Having focused on climate change and energy issues for many years, Delta Electronics Foundation (DEF) organized the online Delta Climate Salon on August 10, 2021. The salon analyzed the 'AR6 Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis', the latest report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in order to help industries, the government, and the academia in Taiwan to stay on top of the latest climate trends and international information. On August 10th, the live streamed event cumulatively drew nearly 500 views, and the audience members passionately exchanged their ideas online.

Delta's Chief Brand Officer (CBO) and Deputy Chairman of Delta Electronics Foundation Shan-Shan Guo commented that, having immediately compiled relevant information on 'The Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)' seven years ago, 'The Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR15)' three years ago, and 'Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC)' two years ago, DEF has once again immediately compiled relevant climate and science information for the public this year. The purpose of which is to strengthen the public's awareness to the impending climate crisis.

Chief Sustainability Officer and Spokesperson Jesse Chou stated that, Delta has been committed to developing green energies over the years by aligning its core competencies in battery technology, and strives to contribute toward keeping the global temperature increase to within 1.5℃. This year, Delta has also reached Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with TCC Green Energy Corporation, the largest load transfer supplier of renewable energy in Taiwan. Delta will purchase wind power generator with a capacity of 7.2MW from Taiwan Cogeneration Corporation, which will supply approximately 19 million kWh of green energy to Delta in each year. This is a substantive move toward Delta's RE100 goal, which aims to achieve 100% renewable energy consumption and carbon neutrality at Delta's operations worldwide by 2030.

IPCC points out in its 'AR6 Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis', that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities have led the temperature of the Earth's surface to rise by 1.07℃ from 1850 to 1900. It is very likely that we will exceed the 1.5℃ threshold before 2040. To prevent climate disasters, we need to greatly reduce carbon emissions within the next decade, and to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
