Proposals for National Net Zero Transition and Corporate Supply Chain Management Strategies

As human activity causes global warming, regional climate systems have undergone unprecedented changes for thousands of years. Most of the world's population will be threatened by deadly heat waves, drought-induced water crises, and frequent heavy rains and storms. To avoid extreme climate impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut in half by 2030 and reach net zero by mid-century. Net zero emissions are when greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals. According to a recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change will increase in all regions in the coming decades. Global warming of 1.5°C will result in more heat waves, longer warm seasons, and shorter cold seasons. Extreme high temperatures of up to 2°C will more often reach the threshold of tolerance for agriculture and health. The future course of the climate is still subjected to human actions. This paper introduces the correlation between corporate sustainability and net-zero transformation, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and supply chain carbon management, the strategy setting of corporate net-zero transition, and finally proposes strategies for domestic corporate net-zero transition and new challenges in the supply chain.

國家淨零轉型與企業供應鏈管理策略建議

人類活動造成全球暖化，各地區氣候系統正在經歷數千年以來空前的改變，全球多數人口將飽受致命熱浪威脅，及面臨乾旱導致的水資源危機，豪雨與風暴將更頻繁發生。為免除極端氣候衝擊，全球溫室氣體排放到2030需要減半，並且在本世紀中達到淨零排放。 淨零排放係指當向大氣排放的溫室氣體 (GHG) 與人為清除量相平衡。根據政府間氣候變化專門委員會近期報告指出，在未來幾十年內所有地區氣候變化都將增加。全球升溫若達1.5°C將會有越來越多的熱浪、更長暖季和更短冷季。若達2°C極端高溫將更常達到農業和健康的耐受度的臨界值。 而人類的行為仍有機會決定氣候的未來走向。本文介紹企業永續經營與淨零轉型關聯、歐盟碳邊境調整措施與供應鏈碳管理、企業淨零轉型策略設定，最後就國內企業淨零轉型與供應鏈新挑戰提出策略建議。
