This Greenhouse Gas Reduction Promotion Plan by Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration outlines a comprehensive national strategy to address climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The plan sets phased reduction targets, aiming to cut emissions to 20% below 2005 levels by 2030, with interim goals of 2% below 2005 levels by 2020 and 10% by 2025. The plan involves coordinated efforts across six major sectors—energy, manufacturing, transportation, residential/commercial, agriculture, and environment—each with specific reduction goals and responsibilities. Key strategies include transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting green transportation, sustainable agriculture, and low-carbon urban development. The plan also emphasizes cross-sector collaboration, public-private partnerships, and citizen engagement, with a five-year review cycle to ensure progress. To support these goals, the Plan introduces regulatory and financial mechanisms such as total emission caps, carbon trading systems, green taxation, and green finance initiatives. It promotes technological innovation, climate education, and transparent information sharing to foster a low-carbon economy and resilient society. The expected outcomes include sustainable social development through environmental justice and public participation, economic growth via green industries and job creation, and improved environmental quality and public health. Implementation is monitored through detailed action plans, with regular reporting and accountability measures to ensure effectiveness and continuous improvement.
