Abstract: Resilience is a city’s continual ability to resist, adapt, change, and prepare for shocks and pressures, whether of environmental, social, institutional, or economic origin, in order to preserve city operations and improve responsiveness to future shocks. The goal of this research was to see how well each aspect of resilience governance (economic, social, environmental, and institutional) predicted acceptance of climate change policy (ACCP) in a Taiwan sample. A total of 1,089 employees from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from six special municipalities were included in the study (Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung). The analysis discovered that for all six cities, the economic dimension of resilience governance was significantly negatively correlated with the ACCP, while the social and institutional dimensions of resilience governance were significantly positively correlated with the ACCP. Furthermore, the institutional dimension of resilience governance was the only characteristic of resilience governance that consistently predicted EPA staffers’ ACCP across six Taiwanese special municipalities.
