Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering

National Taiwan University

​

In the realm of sustainable development and climate change, Professor Ching-Pin Tung stands out as a guiding force at National Taiwan University (NTU). A prestigious professor in the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, he also used to serve as the Executive Director of the Office of Sustainability at NTU.

​

After graduating from NTU with a degree in Agricultural Engineering, Professor Tung pursued his studies in the United States, earning both his Master's and Doctoral degrees from Cornell University's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. Since 1996, he has been imparting knowledge and expertise back at his alma mater, which later rebranded its department to better reflect its focus on Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering. Under Professor Tung’s stewardship, the laboratory has been aptly named the "Sustainability Development Lab," emphasizing humanities' return to humanistic concern, improving quality of life, and ensuring the enduring health of our planet's ecosystems. His research focuses on (1) sustainability management related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), (2) climate change risk assessment and response, (3) environmental systems analysis, and (4) integrated watershed management (5) life cycle assessment (LCA), and (6) sustainable supply chain engagement and management.

​

Apart from his academic endeavors, Professor Tung has proactively involved in integrating and planning NTU's sustainable campus governance and social responsibility strategies. He plays a pivotal role in publishing bilingual university social responsibility and sustainability reports for the university. These reports include strategies for NTU to achieve carbon neutrality by 2048 and outline a pathway to a low-carbon transition, fostering sustainable development in university operations. His recent research advances include (1) developing interdisciplinary climate adaptation technologies, (2) constructing sustainable and smart resilient adaptation service platforms, and (3) promoting climate adaptation education and industry-academia collaboration. This ensures that governmental bodies, academic circles, and industries can collectively address the challenges posed by climate change.

​

In a notable collaboration in 2021, Professor Tung's research team joined forces with prominent organizations like CDIB Capital Group, EY Taiwan, and Chunghwa Telecom to sign a memorandum of understanding that contributes to the RICE Alliance's financial enterprise risk platform. This venture aims to integrate standardized climate risk assessment modules and databases, assisting the financial sector in incorporating climate change risks into investment planning. This initiative responds to the call for Green Finance 2.0 and Corporate Governance 3.0, enhancing the financial industry's ESG disclosure quality and resilience to climate risks, thereby expanding the sustainable influence and operations of the financial market. More research projects, related to TCFD, TNFD, and IFRS S1 and S2, and SDG impact measurement and management, are being studied.

​

童教授自臺灣大學農業工程學系畢業後赴美國就讀康乃爾大學土木暨環境工程系，取得硕士及博士學位後，於1996年起在母系任教迄今，系所後來更名為生物環境系統工程學系。21世紀應該回歸人文的關懷，關懷人類發展、提高生活品質、與維持地球自然生態環境，以確保生態環境永續性與經濟社會持續發展為目標，基於此期許·將研究室取名為「永續發展研究室」。主要研究領域包括(一)ESG 永續治理、(二)氣候變遷風險評估與因應、(三)環境系統分析、(四)整合性流域管理、（五）生命週期分析與、（六）永續供應鏈管理。

​

本職以外，童慶斌教授曾兼任臺大永續辦公室執行長，負責整合規劃臺灣大學永續校園治理與社會責任之策略與作為，負責定期出版中英文大學社會責任報告書，其中包括規劃臺灣大學2048年達成碳中和目標與低碳轉型路徑，協助推動校務永續發展。最近重要研究除了延續過去:(一)研發「跨領域氣候調適科技」，開發系列支援工具，制定資訊流通規格，以系統方法評估氣候變遷風險與建立調適行動計畫，可應用於跨領域研究;(二)建構「永續韌性社區」服務平台，發展社區水資源模式，以協助達成永續人類居住為目標;(三)推動「氣候調適教育與產學合作」，編撰氣候變遷調適專業教材與透過教學聯盟之運作，落實專業教育與接軌國際，使政府、學術、產業結合共同面對氣候變遷的目標。

​

近期之研究並結合研究支援產業ESG 治理，主持之研究團隊於2021年與中華開發、安永會計、中華電信共同簽訂合作備忘錄，參與RICE聯盟所建構之金融企業風險平台，結合研究團隊發展技術建構標準化的氣候風險評估模組與資料庫，協助金融業將氣候變遷風險評估納入投資規劃中，以響應綠色金融2.0與公司治理3.0，提升金融業 ESG 資訊揭露品質及因應氣候變遷風險的韌性，擴大金融市場的影響力與永續經營，同時也可應用於其他企業提升永續治理與競爭力。
