Abstract
Due to the climate change, the governance network approach became one of the best way for policy maker to coordinate with those cross-agent stakeholders. This essay took Kaohsiung for example, especially for three local environmental laws which were proposed between 2011 to 2015 in Kaohsiung. The research discovered that some stakeholders show an active attitude toward climate change policy, including some aldermen and civil servants in Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau. Those active stakeholders played very important roles in the governance network of Kaohsiung climate change policy. When the Director of Environmental Protection Bureau resigned at August 2012. Without an active group to motivate communication between stakeholders, every policy process nearly stopped at the same time. The research also noticed other example shows policy environment affected the whole policy network. Kaohsiung aldermen re-elected at January 2015, and it also influenced the major attitude of Kaohsiung civil council. Furthermore, social atmosphere influenced the core concept of the stakeholders. From 2012 to 2015, climate change issue has spread nearly all Taiwan''s society. People stared to know what''s climate change and why human beings need to stand up and do something for climate change. When being charged for greenhouse gas emission, heavy industry also knew their responsibility. According to the research, the author suggest that the governance network in Kaohsiung may probably improve their communication between different status stakeholder. Especially central government and civil government, also industry, civil government and aldermen, there''s nearly no formal communication ways between them. For future research, the research suggest that may focus on how to restrict too much informal coordination and exchange of interests.
