4 Taiwan

55 (EPA, 2009)

66 Background Adaptation in urgent need: Taiwan is densely populated and at high risk for natural hazards to which climate change has a direct effect.

77 Background 4 building blocks: Mitigation Adaptation Finance technology

88 Background Adaptation: Engineering and non-engineering approaches Policy mainstreaming Social learning IPCC AR 4 and local knowledge Necessary, unavoidable, happening and on-going process

99 Background Climate-sensitive island country: about 73% of Taiwan’s land and population is exposed to more than three natural hazards (EPA, 2009).

10 Background Adaptation in dynamic process: the relationship between climate and society has always been dynamic (Hulme, 2009).
