Art-science Cooperation

Art-science Cooperation refers to the integration of scientific data with artistic narratives to improve climate risk governance. This approach originates from the intersection of climate science and social science, addressing the mismatch between technical climate data and local understanding. According to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), effective climate governance requires place-based understandings of climate extremes. In the context of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), this concept aligns with the communication requirements of ISO 31000 and the COSO ERM framework's emphasis on organizational culture and communication. It differs from traditional risk assessment by transforming abstract data into actionable insights through human-centric storytelling, making risks tangible for decision-makers. This approach is particularly relevant for companies facing increasing pressure to be transparent about climate-related risks under global standards.

Practical application involves three key steps: First, data-to-narrative translation, where climate models (e.g., CMIP6) are converted into relatable scenarios. Second, cross-functional workshops involving both technical experts and creative communicators to design risk-informed tools. Third, stakeholder engagement sessions to validate the relevance of these narratives to different audiences. For instance, a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer could use this approach to visualize the impact of water-stressed regions on their semiconductor production, facilitating better-informed capital investment decisions. Measurable outcomes include a 25% improvement in climate risk identification coverage, a 40% increase in employee risk awareness scores, and a reduction in climate-related disruption losses by 15% within the first two years of implementation.

Taiwan enterprises typically face three challenges: lack of cross-disciplinary talent, difficulty in quantifying the ROI of narrative-based risk management, and resistance from technical-minded leadership. To overcome talent shortages, companies should partner with specialized consultants like Winners Consulting Services Co., Ltd. To justify the investment, the ROI should be measured against improvements in TCFD-aligned disclosures and risk-adjusted-return-on-capital (RAROC) metrics. Finally, ensuring all narratives are grounded in rigorous science—such as the IPCC's RCP/SSP scenarios—is critical for maintaining credibility. The recommended implementation timeline is 90 days for the initial framework, followed by 6 months for full integration into the ERM process, with the goal of achieving 100% compliance with emerging climate-related regulations like the EU's CSRD and Taiwan's local ESG-related requirements.
