| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 航運管理學系 === 102 === The IPCC report makes it clear that people around the world are already suffering from climate change, as it directly affects their livelihoods, reducing crops, destroying homes and raising food prices, and that this will accelerate if climate change is left unchecked.
Almost all countries are on track to achieve their Kyoto Protocol targets. In order to meet their targets, these countries would need to consider personal carbon emissions. However, there are still relatively few actions taken by human to reduce carbon emissions. According to personal carbon emissions regulations proposed by an international organization in the UK, people should have their own carbon emission credits per moths that can be consumed by themselves or these carbon emission credits can be traded on sales platform according to each person’s demands. The main goal of this thesis is to understand general publics’ perception on the degree of importance and the degree of acceptance on the five possible aspects of personal carbon emissions regulations: meals, clothing, accommodation, travelling, and education/leisure. This study firstly reviews personal carbon credits (PCA) literatures and then emailing questionnaires to survey residents in Taiwan with the PCA issue. Their responses are analyzed by the IPA model and the critical factors that might influence the future possible launch of PCA in Taiwan are found. Finally concrete suggestions to make PCA regulations possible in Taiwan are provided.
