13.3.4 Does your university as a body inform and support local or regional government in local climate change disaster/risk early warning and monitoring?

SDG 13 氣候行動 THE Impact Rankings 2027 資料年度 2025

Summary

China Medical University significantly empowers regional governance, particularly the Taichung City Government, by shifting disaster management from reactive relief to proactive, data-driven early warning defense. Leveraging a 10-year cohort study that revealed a 3.18-fold synergistic CKD risk under compounded extreme heat and PM2.5, the university enabled municipal bureaus to break administrative silos and implement cross-departmental compound warning SOPs. Through the Central Taiwan University System M6 Climate Resilience Forum, the partnership actively deploys AI, remote sensing, and digital twin simulations to optimize urban heat-corridor planning and flood defense investments. Combining macro Lancet GBD epidemiology data with high-SROI grassroots USR networks (4.05:1), this ecosystem directly shields vulnerable elderly, chronic patients, and children.

本項說明

本校發揮醫學與公共衛生領域之頂尖研發實力，整合全球宏觀數據、在地微觀長期追蹤與數位科技防災技術，為地方政府（臺中市政府）建立「數據驅動、科學實證、跨局處聯防」的氣候健康韌性支援體系。面對極端高溫與空氣污染交織的複合型氣候災害，傳統行政體系常受限於單一指標與事後被動應變。本校透過發表於《The Lancet》之全球疾病負擔（GBD）宏觀模型，以及刊登於《Environmental Research》之10年在地世代追蹤研究，實證揭露複合氣候因子的疊加危害；同時導入AI、遙測與數位孿生技術，並攜手基層公衛單位與社福網絡，實質協助地方政府將災害防救與公共衛生決策由傳統「災後救助」前瞻性前移至「災前早期預警」，精準配置公帑並有效守護高齡、慢性病患及兒少等氣候脆弱族群。

具體作法與成效

一、科學實證驅動跨局處聯防，突破行政藩籬

作法：公衛團隊與國家衛生研究院歷時10年動態追蹤3,041名55歲以上高齡世代，量化細懸浮微粒（PM2.5）暴露與極端高溫並存之加乘危害，實證兩者同時作用使高齡者罹患慢性腎臟病（CKD）風險大幅躍升至3.18倍。

成效與地方助益：科學數據直接促成地方政府打破業務藩籬，推動環境保護局與衛生局建立「高溫與PM2.5複合預警系統（Heat-PM2.5 Compound Warning System）」。當複合指標達警戒值時，能即刻聯動跨局處SOP——環保局加強道路灑水降溫與洗掃降塵，衛生局同步通報長照機構、基層診所與關懷據點加強高風險者照護，防患於未然。
