'12 Key Strategies'' Action Plan Announced for 2050 Net-Zero Transition Goals

To cope with the impact of climate change, more than 130 countries have committed to net zero in order to reduce the effect of global warming. Conglomerates are also joining RE100 in response to net-zero emission initiatives. President Tsai promised on Earth Day 2021, April 22, that Taiwan will achieve the 2050 Net-Zero Transition goal. The National Development Council (NDC) has been collaborating closely with relevant authorities, such as the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the Ministry of the Interior, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Council of Agriculture, and the Financial Supervisory Commission, and announced ''Taiwan's Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050'' in March 2022. With the four transition strategies of ''Energy Transitions'', ''Industrial Transitions'', ''Lifestyle Transitions'', and ''Social Transitions'' as well as the two governance foundations of ''Technology R&D'' and ''Climate Legislation,'' we will make steady progress toward the goal of a sustainable society via the 2050 Net-Zero Transition.
