2022-2023 Project of Strategy Planning and Implementation for Green Living Policy

Absrtact
Net-zero emissions have become the foremost priority for countries from a global perspective, leading all nations to propose relevant strategies and measures. No matter which strategy, it shows that the transition to net-zero requires not only technological innovations such as energy and transportation, but also the behavior change. Taiwan's National Development Council announced " Taiwan’s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050 " on March 30, 2022, and made "Net Zero Green Living" the tenth key strategy. Taiwan EPA has cooperated with local environmental protection bureaus to jointly promote "green diet", "green tourism", "green consumption", "green office" and "green home", so as to enhance the concept of "green living" and cultivate green living behaviors. This project aims to assist the Taiwan EPA in compiling information on global strategies, manuals, and technologies that promote behavior change, in order to propose actionable practices suitable for implementation in Taiwan. Additionally, by convening inter-departmental and promotion group meetings, we seek to establish effective communication channels among the various ministries in Taiwan, based on their respective responsibilities. As part of the short-term goals outlined in the key strategic action plan, we have proposed 31 measures spanning six areas, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, education/entertainment, and shopping. Leveraging both central and local government resources, we are working collaboratively to promote the policy of green living. In this project, the green office guidance process was also developed, and completes the implementation of green office actions in five companies. We also assisted EPA to process the local assessment of green living-related business. We also strengthen the operation of fan websites on social networking sites and try to disseminate information to the public through multiple channels in order to gather consensus.
