Taiwan’s Low carbon Homeland Schedule

Based on the 3rd National Energy Convention in 2009, the targets and timeframe were proposed

Develop the “low carbon and sustainable homeland program” based on the low carbon city model.

Coordinate each ministry’s effort to achieve national carbon reduction target and low carbon economy transition, leading to sustainable development and improving national competition.
