To advance the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the National Institute of Environmental Research has implemented a talent cultivation program targeting net-zero competencies, focusing on comprehensive knowledge and skills across three levels: businesses, universities, and elementary schools. This initiative aims to lay a solid foundation for net-zero transformation talent in Taiwan.
The program offers specialized Green Youth Training Courses, actively promoting enrollment among businesses and schools. Five training areas are available, including Net-Zero Emissions Basics, Carbon Footprint Verification, Voluntary Emissions Reduction, ESG Reporting, and Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management. These courses, led by front-line Environmental Protection Agency personnel and experienced industry experts, are conducted across Taiwan in 26 sessions, training over 1,312 participants, 40% of whom are youths aged 18 to 35, to support the net-zero transition needs of enterprises.
Additionally, outreach programs are provided to university students, covering essential net-zero topics such as foundational concepts, career pathways in carbon reduction, and future employment prospects. Through collaboration with academic and industry experts, 35 sessions have been held, training over 1,498 participants to cultivate emerging green talent.
This project aims to address the future demand for green net-zero talent by collecting and analyzing the content and differences of domestic courses. A total of 48 organizations were surveyed, with 220 courses recorded. Based on the course outcomes and the consolidation of domestic net-zero development trends, eight "Net-Zero Talent Expert Consultation Meetings" were held. Experts and scholars from industry, government, and academia were invited to discuss the future direction for promoting net-zero transition in Taiwan.
Finally, at the elementary school level, net-zero curriculum transformation is promoted through specialized lessons on emissions reduction and a carbon footprint calculator. A half-day pilot class and expert consultation session was held, with three experts on-site guiding 30 teachers and students, aiming to enhance students’ awareness of sustainable, net-zero living.
