In response to climate change, the Taiwan government announced at the National Energy Conference that innovative energy planning will reach the target of 1–3% by 2020, and renewable energy will account for 10% of the national generating capacity, i.e., 7000–8000 megawatts (“The preservation and re-activation of,” 2008). To ensure active participation in the global carbon reduction effort, Kinmen needs to develop a carbon reduction strategy with an ecosystem-based management network. In addition, 2010 was the year to act practically towards “energy-saving and carbon reduction”. Many areas in Taiwan have been chosen as model locations in which to construct low-carbon homes, and Kinmen Island has been selected to be developed as a model low-carbon island.
