Taiwan is facing a severe pressure under climate change and especially there are more than 70% of the population live in a metropolitan area. Obviously, the climate governance of a city is going to be an important issue. Cities, however, are not homogeneous, so the climate governance should be started from communities’ scale. In the other words, the processes of climate governance need to consider how to develop a strategy adapting to local conditions. The idea of “Community-Based Adaptation to climate change” (CBA) has been put forward about two decades, whereas Taiwan is still lacks of this part. Consequently, the purpose of this study are: (1)checking the details of “Taiwan integrated research programme on Climate Change Adaptation Technology”(TaiCCAT), and providing suggestions for adapting to a urban community from the perspective of CBA after analyzing the structure of urban communities in Taiwan、(2)adopting “Story Map” as a new tool and trying to establish a platform to translate the scientific information from the perspective of CBA. Although there is few case of CBA in Taiwan, it exists many cases of community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) which are similar to CBA and accumulates lots of experience. Therefore, the method of this study is to conduct in-depth interviews with six key figures who are familiar with CBDRM in Wenshan District, Taipei City. At the same time, this study selects a community, according to the risk definition of IPCC, as a case study of practicing story map. As a result, this study finds that community leaders and community colleges are the two most important coordinators, and information, technology and funds are the three most important capitals from a social network perspective. In addition, current TaiCCAT have three major problems for urban communities: (1) Some work items are too rough; (2) The distinction between stakeholders is not clear enough; (3) The content of steps 2 and steps 3 is too difficult, therefore, this study provides some suggestions and revises parts of it to suit urban communities. Finally, this study attempts to use Story Maps to improve the three problems founded in communities’ communication of climate risk: (1) The residents are less aware of the disasters in their living environment; (2) The residents are prone to forgotten the past disaster experiences; (3)There is a lack of effective communication platforms (tools).
