The cancun Agreements provide the strongest signal countries have ever given to the private sector that we are moving toward low-carbon economies, by committing to a maximum temperature rise of 2 ℃, and a consideration of a maximum of 1.5 ℃ in the near future. Based on the "common but differentiated responsibility" principle under the identical global village and the willing of participation in activities of the "UN Framework Convention on Climate Change". Taiwan has explicitly expressed the support a voluntary commitment to the target of at least 30% reduction based on business-as-usual (BAU) of the total GHG emission volume by 2020. It started from the development of legal foundation, in combining with multi-dimensional strategies on sectoral reduction implementation, adopting market mechanism, enhancing education and promotion, developing international cooperation, as well as integration of multi-ministerial capacity and industrial technology for the implementation of key benchmark programs, the, and leading Taiwan’s transition towards low carbon society. This project will be in continuation to monitor and comprehension the development of the post-Kyoto negotiations and response strategies, and in seeking opportunities in the international occasion for multiple voices during the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties, sharing our experience on energy conservation and carbon reduction, and meanwhile strengthening the negotiation niche on the carbon reduction responsibility in the future.

The main objectives of this project include: 1. Analyze the developing tracks after Cancun Agreements, and review corresponding strategies in Taiwan. 2. Collect and analyze the measures of climate strategy and energy policy in primary advanced countries and union groups, and assist Taiwan EPA for establishing national strategies and stand. 3. Analyze the mechanism possibility of participating in “Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN)” under the UNFCCC. 4.
