近年來，隨著全球暖化效應引起的擔憂日益加劇，國際社會對此問題的關注達到新高。特別是，二氧化碳（CO₂）和其他溫室氣體的排放被廣泛認為是導致全球暖化的主因。在這樣的背景下，碳排放交易系統（ETS）應運而生，成為減少溫室氣體排放、推動永續發展和實施環境政策的關鍵策略之一。隨著對於有效環境策略需求的增加，採用數位化解決方案來應對這些複雜問題變得格外重要。本研究專注於開發和評估全球排放限額分析與交易系統（GECATS）導航器，這是一種旨在幫助中小企業（SME）管理全球碳排放規範，尤其是在碳排放交易方面的數位工具。本研究全面分析了該工具的功能、易用性和對中小企業的潛在影響，以此驗證其在處理排放數據、提供監管合規建議以及確保其實用性和效率方面的能力。

Over the past years, concerns over a vast accumulation of the global warming effect have attracted significant attention worldwide, with carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gas emissions being recognized as one of the underlying causes of this phenomenon. The carbon emission trading system (ETS) has played a major role in promoting sustainable development, environmental policy, and climate change mitigation initiatives during the past few decades. To date, the carbon emissions trading system (ETS) has been one of the most widely used strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as it allows organizations and individuals to compensate for their CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions. Amidst the growing need for environmental compliance strategies, there is an increasing importance of utilizing digital solutions in facilitating such complex matters. The research involves the development and assessment of the Global Emission Cap and Trading System (GECATS) Navigator, a digital tool designed to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in navigating complex global carbon emission regulations, specifically in the subject of implementing an emissions trading system. Furthermore, this research conducted a thorough analysis of the tool's functionality, usability, and potential impact on SMEs. Validation scenarios demonstrate the tool's effectiveness in processing emissions data, providing regulatory compliance insights, and ensuring user-friendliness.
