Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions regulations have long been the focus of global attention. The attention has led to the signing of important international treaties and has also influenced countries’domestic climate policies. Climate governance presently encompasses two principal strategies: adapting to the impacts of climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. After the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, there is a global commitment to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. While numerous articles have studied the impacts of climate change on the oceans, ocean-based solutions for mitigating climate change have only gained international attention and discussion after the Paris Agreement. The ocean is recognized as a crucial carbon sink; hence, post the Paris Agreement, climate policies have become closely intertwined with ocean policies. In response to the international climate governance, Taiwan amended its law and adopted the Climate Change Response Act in 2023. Under the framework of the new Act, it is necessary to study how Taiwan’s ocean policy will develop and respond to climate change governance. This article examines the ocean and climate change governance of international regime and state practices the United States, Australia, Japan, and the European Union (EU). It compares how these countries and the EU strengthen and integrate national marine climate actions and analyzes Taiwan's greenhouse gas management system. Furthermore, this analysis delves into the provisions of Taiwan’s Climate Change Response Act. Through the analysis of the revised act, this paper offers organizational and policy-level suggestions for the development of Taiwan’s marine policy, thereby exploring the development trajectory of Taiwan's marine blue carbon policy. |
