Systematic management
ISO 50001 energy management, ISO 14064-1 GHG inventories and ISO 14001 environmental management provide a robust operational foundation.
Climate Change Management
CLIMATE ACTION AT MCUT
Climate Change Management
MCUT integrates climate action into campus governance, facilities management and talent development through risk identification, energy transition and resilient adaptation.
Climate Governance and Management
MCUT continually advances its energy policy and campus management mechanisms, embedding mitigation and adaptation in daily operations through energy, environmental and greenhouse-gas management systems.
Mitigation and transition
Smart energy monitoring, renewable energy, equipment upgrades and green procurement reduce energy consumption and emissions.
Resilience and adaptation
Building, slope and hazard-warning management strengthen preparedness for extreme weather and resource constraints.
Climate-related Risks and Responses
Select a risk category to explore potential impacts and MCUT’s response measures.
Policy and regulation
Regulatory requirements relating to climate change, energy management and renewable energy may increase campus operating costs.
- Advance energy policy and carbon-reduction actions while tracking electricity use.
- Continue ISO systems, smart energy monitoring, renewables and high-efficiency equipment.
- Manage water, waste and biodiversity to put circular and environmental action into practice.
Market and reputation
Growing demand for sustainability talent and stakeholder expectations can affect recruitment, reputation and long-term development.
- Integrate ESG, SDGs, net zero and GHG inventory topics into learning.
- Support sustainability research, industry collaboration and professional development.
- Participate in sustainability awards and social engagement to extend campus impact.
Acute events
Heavy rain, typhoons and flooding can threaten facilities, equipment and people while increasing repair and operating costs.
- Strengthen drainage and infrastructure resilience with weather, earthquake and hazard alerts.
- Maintain emergency response, recovery plans, drills and training.
- Prepare for water restrictions through conservation and water-reuse planning.
Long-term climate change
Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns affect air-conditioning and water demand, soil and water conservation and asset maintenance.
- Improve air-conditioning efficiency and expand green buildings and solar systems.
- Use smart management to track financial exposure and energy-saving goals.
- Respond to resource and ecological impacts through food-waste recovery and biodiversity surveys.
Adaptation Actions and Key Investment
Renewable energy, smart management and safety facilities turn climate risks into practical mitigation and adaptation capacity.
Renewable generation strengthens low-carbon campus operations.
235 smart meters and an energy platform improve electricity tracking.
Storage and microgrid infrastructure increase renewable-energy use and supply resilience.
Slope maintenance, earthquake alerts, ecological surveys and landscape planning.
Carbon-reduction Performance Dashboard
Emission, energy-efficiency and renewable-energy indicators track MCUT’s low-carbon transition.
Third-party verified.
Comparison across Scope 1–3 emissions.
Down 0.10 kWh/m² from the previous year.

Scenario Analysis and Campus Resilience
Climate data and hazard information inform adaptation decisions and identify medium- and long-term campus risks.
7 typesCampus safety monitoring
Regular monitoring of slopes, buildings, water levels, ground anchors, cracks and GPS points tracks changes in the campus environment and facilities.
IPCC very high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5)
Climate projections and 3D hazard mapping are used to assess potential extreme rainfall and related hazards around 2050.
- Hazard mapping shows no immediate flood risk within the campus.
- Tree inventories and risk assessments cover all teaching areas.
- Slope, building and seismic safety monitoring provide ongoing early warning.
Campus Safety Monitoring
Environmental management, facility monitoring and real-time alerts create layered protection that incorporates climate and earthquake risks into everyday campus management.
01Teaching-area tree inventory and risk assessment＋
From 2023 to 2024, MCUT completed tree inventories and risk assessments across eight teaching-area zones, establishing a database to inform maintenance, environmental education and terrestrial-ecosystem conservation.
- 1,963 trees
- 1,417 shrubs
- 15% high-risk tree ratio
02Campus slope and building safety monitoring＋
Inclinometers, water-level observation wells, building-tilt and settlement measures, crack gauges, ground-anchor load gauges and GPS points track changes around slopes, retaining walls and buildings.
- 83 monthly monitoring points
- 8 GPS monitoring points
- GPS follow-up every 3 months
03Seismic building-safety monitoring and alerts＋
Strong-motion instruments, real-time communication and Central Weather Administration earthquake notices support rapid assessment. When acceleration reaches 0.8 gal, first-tier executives receive an SMS or LINE notification.
- 43 notifications in 2025
- 0.8 gal alert threshold
- Level 1 maximum overall structural-performance assessment
