隨著美國、日本、台灣等國,陸續宣示將「2050淨零」列入國家目標。

As countries like the US, Japan and Taiwan have declared "2050 net-zero" as national goals.

包含蘋果、微軟等國際企業巨擘,也紛紛加入環保永續陣營。

Major international corporations like Apple and Microsoft have also joined the sustainability camp.

「自然碳匯」儼然成了最火紅的議題。

"Natural carbon sinks" have undoubtedly become the hottest topic.

無論是陸地上的樹木(綠碳)、舉目所及的土壤(黃碳),以及河口的紅樹林與海洋中的海草床(藍碳),都是自然碳匯的寶藏。

Whether it's trees on land (green carbon), ubiquitous soil (yellow carbon), mangrove forests at river mouths, or seagrass beds in oceans (blue carbon) - these natural carbon sinks are all treasures.

而「三色碳」,更已是你我都要認識的關鍵字。

And these "three colors of carbon" are keywords we must all become familiar with.

黃碳農業可大幅減碳

台灣第一個民間發起的黃碳專案「小農種碳計畫」,發起人、天地和氣公司董事長方儉利用GS的黃碳方法學。

Taiwan's first private "Small Farmer Carbon Cultivation Program", initiated by Dr. Fang Jian, Chairman of Tierra Atmospheric & Environmental Consultants, utilizes the GS yellow carbon methodology.

集結300多位小農,從種植稻米、咖啡、茶樹等作物的農田,一年養出超過一萬公噸的黃碳,進度更勝政府與企業。

Bringing together over 300 small farmers cultivating rice, coffee, tea and other crops, the program sequesters over 10,000 tons of yellow carbon annually - outpacing government and corporate efforts.

企業參與不只是責任 更是機遇

過去企業投入環保多為回應社會責任,但現在透過參與自然碳匯,不僅可達成淨零排放,更能開創新的商業模式。

In the past, corporate environmental efforts were driven by social responsibility, but now participating in natural carbon sinks not only achieves net-zero emissions but unlocks new business models.

以微軟為例,他們投資1億美元於西北地區造林,預計可吸收近5百萬公噸二氧化碳,並創造繁榮的新經濟。

Take Microsoft as an example - their $1 billion investment in reforestation in the Northwest aims to sequester nearly 5 million tons of CO2 while creating a thriving new economy.

顯見愛護地球與締造商機並非矛盾,企業可善用自然賦能,轉化為創新營收。

Clearly caring for the planet and seizing business opportunities are not contradictory - companies can harness nature's capacities into innovative revenue streams.

自然碳匯象徵著環境恢復與永續經營的平衡之道,對企業而言是機會也是責任所在。期盼台灣能跟上國際腳步,共同維護碳匯的寶藏。

Natural carbon sinks symbolize the balanced path of environmental restoration and sustainable operations - representing opportunities but also responsibilities for businesses. We hope Taiwan can keep pace with international trends to jointly preserve these carbon sink treasures.
