According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Synthesis Report, global temperatures have already risen by more than 1.1°C, emphasizing the urgent need for the international community to actively achieve the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement and to limit the temperature increase to within 1.5°Celsius. In response to climate change, a total of 151 countries, 262 cities, 157 regions, and 1,032 major corporations worldwide have set net-zero transition goals for 2050, covering nearly 88% of greenhouse gas emissions, 92% of global GDP, and 89% of the population. In 2021, President Tsai Ing-wen declared Taiwan's commitment to achieving net-zero transformation by 2050. Subsequently, in 2022, the National Development Council (NDC) released the "Taiwan 2050 Net Zero Emission Pathway and Strategy Overview" along with the "12 Key Strategic Action Plans." Through strategies such as wind and solar power, hydrogen energy, and energy conservation, Taiwan aims to reduce carbon emissions by 72 to 76 million metric tons, equivalent to 29% of the 2020 carbon emission levels. To effectively achieve the net-zero transformation goal, this project will analyze the latest trends in net-zero transition planning, climate change mitigation and adaptation from key countries and international organizations. Simultaneously, it aims to establish a reporting platform for the execution status of the twelve key strategies to regularly monitor the progress of various departments. Additionally, it will assist the Climate Change Bureau in organizing the presentation of annual results and engaging in societal dialogue on the key strategies for net-zero transition, enhancing public understanding of our country's net-zero objectives. Furthermore, through the analysis of climate change topics in international organizations and conferences, representatives will be dispatched to participate in relevant international activities to gain in-depth insights into the latest trends in global net-zero pathways and strategies for economic and trade policy responses. Lastly, the project will establish a localized database for environmental, energy, and economic factors, utilizing a computable general equilibrium model to assess the short, medium, and long-term impacts of the twelve key strategies on our country's economic development. Based on the research content of this project, it is evident that climate policies must adapt to the rapidly changing international environment and advancements in cutting-edge technologies. It is essential to continuously track the effectiveness of policies implemented by various countries, their subsequent revisions, and clarify the reasons for such adjustments as a reference for the iterative review of Taiwan's net-zero policy pathways. Climate change is not only a significant challenge but also an opportunity to drive technological innovation and economic transformation. By seizing this green wave, Taiwan has the potential to play an important role in the future global economic system, achieving the dual goals of sustainable development and economic growth.
