Taiwan's Ambassador: From Commitments to Actions on Climate

Taiwan is addressing climate change challenges by implementing policies aligned with the Paris Agreement, despite not being a UNFCCC party. In 2024, its greenhouse gas emissions were 6.59% lower than in 2005. The country has introduced carbon emission fees to accelerate industrial decarbonization, raising approximately €135 million for climate initiatives. Taiwan's carbon pricing system has been recognized by the UK, linking it to international frameworks. Additionally, Taiwan is collaborating with Poland on hydrogen energy and carbon capture technologies. The island is enhancing its climate diplomacy through partnerships and seeks support for its participation in UNFCCC discussions.
