This project aims to align with the international trend of achieving net-zero emissions, assess the domestic demand for promoting net-zero green procurement, devise mechanisms for relevant public sector units to cope with future climate change risks, enhance the existing green mark and government green procurement systems, and achieve the net-zero emissions benefits of environmental protection. Through analyzing domestic and international cases integrating the environmental benefits of green mark with net-zero emission goals, this project proposes specific operational net-zero environmental benefit indicators for reference in Taiwan. It also establishes screening mechanisms within the government's designated procurement items, prioritizing 2 product categories for future net-zero green procurement recommendations. The specifications of 4 environmentally friendly products within these categories are evaluated for net-zero environmental benefits. Additionally, four expert consultation sessions are conducted to solicit suggestions for incorporating these measures into the green mark specifications. Furthermore, the project assesses the potential impact of integrating the net-zero label into the green procurement system, proposing complementary measures for net-zero green procurement demand. Two expert consultation sessions are held to ensure the rationality of system planning and practical implementation. To ensure transparency in the results of integrating net-zero emissions with the label, the project outlines plans for information modules, including carbon emission databases and displays of net-zero benefits functions. By analyzing relevant laws such as the Government Procurement Act, the Resource Recycling and Reuse Act, and the Waste Disposal Act, the project proposes incentives for subsequent promotion, including the introduction of net-zero green fee preferential schemes. Therefore, this project proposes refined practices for green procurement and green mark systems based on net-zero emissions. It sets short-to-medium-term goals through prioritizing government procurement, further fostering a trend of net-zero green consumption, and working towards Taiwan's 2050 net-zero emission target.
