Climate change is a global issue. As one of it, Taiwan had the responsibility to care the developing countries and offer the help they needed. For this reason, “2014 Pan Pacific Partnership on Climate Change Adaptation” invited experts of US EPA and representatives from Southeast Asia and Pacific island countries to discuss the impact of climate change and our responses. Based on experiences of Taiwan as an island country combined with cooperation of Taiwan and the US, the project helped to improve communication of Pan Pacific regions on climate issues.
