Why the platform was established

Since 2010, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in Taiwan successively launched three principal projects: Consortium for Climate Change Study (CCliCS), the TCCIP and Taiwan integrated research program on Climate Change Adaptation Technology (TaiCCAT).

Among these projects, the TCCIP was established to create a user-friendly platform to allow easy access of climate change data and adaptation information in Taiwan.
