研究概述 

子題三關注塑膠在消費和製造過程中的碳排放議題，分析石化業、政府單位和民間社會在塑膠議題上的互動和他們跟氣候危機的關係。透過以台灣和國外石化企業為例，子題三將敘述石化和石油產業在緩和塑膠碳排放上的不同策略，及他們如何跟各自國家的政府和民間社會互動。透過對產業的公開論述做內容分析和深入訪談，本研究將整理並呈現塑膠議題的熱門爭議。最後，本子題將從各行動者的衝突中推導出可能出現的妥協方案，以及塑膠產業如何應對2050年的減碳目標。

Research Summary

This subproject focuses on carbon emissions related to the production and consumption of plastics. We look at the interactions between the petrochemical industry, government and civil society on the plastic issue and its relation with the climate emergency. We focus on the different strategies of Taiwanese and foreign petrochemical companies to mitigate carbon emission from plastics, how they interact with the government and civil society of their respective countries, and how they confront with global advocacy campaigns such as Break Free From Plastic and the Plastic Pollution Coalition. Through a content analysis of their public narratives and in-depth interviews, our research will map the frontlines of contention. In the end, we aim to estimate the possible compromises that will result from the confrontation between these different actors.
