10年可以改變什麼？或是，沒有改變什麼？2015年12月12日，聯合國195個成員國（包括觀察員）在聯合國氣候峰會中通過延續京都議定書的《巴黎協定》（ParisAgreement），明確設定：「以工業時代前為基準值，在21世紀末時，全球升溫小於2℃，並以1.5℃作為目標。」今年是《巴黎協定》生效第10年，年初便傳來讓人挫折的消息。歐盟的哥白尼氣候變遷服務公布最新數據，2025年1月延續了2023、2024年的升溫趨勢，成為有紀錄以來的最熱的1月，比工業革命前的均溫還要高出1.75℃。更讓科學家們困惑的是，原本預期反聖嬰現象將帶來大片涼爽洋流，氣溫卻不降反升。推測原因，由於化石燃料產生的溫室氣體創新高，使得整體溫度易升難降，加上森林持續被砍伐等因素，加劇氣候變化。面對看似無解的全球氣候危機，國家公園能做什麼？開創國家公園濫觴的美國，於2023年發布了最新版本的《氣候變遷因應策略》（Climate Change Response Strategy），提出四大基石：了解科學、適應不斷變化的條件、減輕原因和溝通問題，作為國家公園內進行永續規劃的依據，而這份策略也展現國家公園除了解決園區內的挑戰，也有機會透過研究和實踐，成為緩解氣候問題的解方之一。今年度的國家公園季刊便以「未來解方」為主題，於四期分別提出臺灣國家公園在減碳護林、永續廊道的跨界合作、以保育行動實踐SDGs、鏈結ESG／USR夥伴關係等4個面向的願景及重要成果，展現國家公園迎向愈加艱難的氣候變遷問題時，作為領頭羊，帶動產、官、學、民一起找到問題解方的決心與行動力。
