An overview of the implementation status is provided below: 1. Implement Administrative Support for Environmental Protection Charitable Trusts: The primary focus of this project’s administrative support is to assist the Ministry of Environment (MOENV) in counseling, reviewing, and supervising cases related to the Environmental Protection Charitable Trusts (the Trusts). As of November 30, 2023, two assistance reviews were completed. This project also contributed to enhancing the MOENV’s operations by conducting three promotional seminars for the Trusts in the northern, central, and southern regions. These seminars aimed to strengthen the guidance for applicants. In terms of counseling and consultation, this project provided a dedicated hotline to address public concerns related to the Trusts. Throughout the project execution period, a total of 10 consultations were conducted, offering supplementary guidance for application cases and providing information in response to seminar-related inquiries. Utilizing channels such as telephone counseling, trust case reviews, and seminars, common issues surrounding the Trusts were consolidated. Additionally, this project analyzed current challenges in our promotion efforts and gathered domestic and international cases related to environmental protection public trusts. Recommendations were made based on lessons learned, serving as valuable insights for future policy planning in Taiwan. 2.
