【气候变迁是危机也是转机】
全球气候变迁已深刻影响世界各国，台湾作为全球的一份子，同样面临严峻的挑战，尤其在近年，我们也见证了百年来最严重的大旱、强降雨及台风的威胁。
赖清德总统积极推动「净零转型五大策略」，包括启动第二次能源转型，加速地热、氢能、生质能和海洋能等再生能源，推动数位与绿色的产业双轴转型，并形塑净零永续的绿生活，更将推动「不遗落任何人」的公正转型。
【提升气候治理倡议层级】
我国今年6月在总统府成立「国家气候变迁对策委员会」，以国家整体发展的视野进行气候治理与国际合作，针对净零路径、多元绿能减碳科技、绿色数位双轴转型、永续绿生活、公正转型、绿色永续金融、国土永续调适韧性等七大主轴，强化因应气候变迁沟通平台，加速政策落实并加大社会参与。
【建构碳定价机制带动低碳转型】
台湾积极采取各项气候行动，明确将「2050净零排放」目标纳入「气候变迁因应法」，展现减碳决心，台湾的碳费制度，等于全球碳税的专款专用，已经完成各种立法工作，并将于2025年正式开始，企业也将在2025年中试行申报，初期一般费率订为每公吨约10美元，依碳费费率审议会建议未来将以分阶段调升为原则进行检讨，并建议2030年后可参考国际碳价水准，订于每公吨约40至60美元之间，我们也承诺将会在四年内推动台湾的排放交易机制(ETS)，积极与全球接轨。这些政策的推展符合「巴黎协定」第六条借由市场机制如碳定价制度，有效提升国家间气候变迁减量行动合作，进而达成更具企图心的气候目标。
【透过绿色基金促进产业创新】
碳费只是碳定价制度的第一步，接下来
积极启动绿色金融三大基金，带动绿色产业发展。我们将成立百亿台币的「绿色成长基金」，鼓励发展国内净零相关新兴产业；争取保险业与金融业资金，成立「绿色金融创新基金
长期投入我国各产业深度节能、净零与资源循环产业；最后，「台湾净零基金」希望结合国内外减碳需求，与国内高碳排业者、创投业者及金融机构合作，主动评估参与各类减碳技术，加入台湾国际级公司在全球减碳策略布局，加速净零策略推动，带动更多绿色投资。这不仅提升我国国际竞争力，也符合「巴黎协定
第九条推动已开发国家透过不同来源动员气候资金之要求，为台湾的永续发展奠定坚实的基础。
【强化调适机制与永续韧性】
在调适面向上，我国今年5月发布新版「国家气候变迁科学报告」，做为各地方政府与部会短中期调适因应之基础科学资料，规划早期预警机制及系统监测，提升各城市的环境韧性，包含建立多层次防灾系统，从灾害预测到应变与重建，全面提升应对灾害的能力，打造「防灾、调适、净零」三项合一的韧性国土。以呼应「巴黎协定
第七条呼吁各缔约方推动制定与落实调适政策，而我国也
持续透过早期预警机制及系统监测，完善国家调适政策措施。
【台湾参与全球气候行动贡献己力】
台湾是一个重要的经济体和技术创新国家，我们在再生能源、气候调适、以及低碳技术创新方面的能力，可以为全球气候治理提供有力的支持。创新与实践，是未来气候行动很重大的关键，随着台湾碳定价的实施，以及相关创新技术的推动，台湾将透过强化国内政策与制度，持续参与全球气候行动。我们希望国际社会能够理解，台湾不只是想要参与，更重要的是我们有能力、也有责任为全球因应气候变迁做出贡献。
Taiwan’s commitment to climate action
Peng Chi-ming
Minister of Environment
November 2024
Climate change has greatly affected countries around the world. As a member of the international community, Taiwan also faces serious challenges in this area. In recent years, we have witnessed the most severe drought in a century, intense rainfall, and devastating typhoons.
President Lai Ching-te is promoting five key strategies for a net-zero transition. This involves initiating a second energy transition; accelerating development of renewable energy sources such as geothermal, hydrogen, biomass, and ocean energy; advancing a twin digital and green transformation of our industries, and shaping net-zero lifestyles. We are thus pressing toward a fair transition that leaves no one behind.
In June, Taiwan established the National Climate Change Committee under the Office of the President to address climate governance and international cooperation from the perspective of national development. The committee is focused on seven areas: pathways to net-zero, diverse green energy and carbon reduction technologies, the twin green and digital transformation, sustainable green lifestyles, a fair transition, green sustainable finance, and a sustainable homeland and adaptive resilience. The committee allows for better communication of the government’s climate change response, accelerates policy implementation, and enhances public participation.
Taiwan is taking many steps to address climate change. In a demonstration of commitment to emissions reduction, it has incorporated the 2050 net-zero emissions target into the Climate Change Response Act. Meanwhile, legislation has been completed to establish a carbon fee system, similar to a global carbon tax, that will take effect in 2025. Companies will begin trial reporting in the middle of 2025 at an initial standard rate of approximately US$10 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). The rate will be subjected to phased increases based on recommendations from the Carbon Fee Rate Review Committee and, by 2030, reach a level that mirrors international standards of between US$40 and US$60 per tCO2e. Taiwan has also pledged to launch an emissions trading system in the next four years that will further integrate it with global markets. These policies align with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which encourages international collaboration on climate action through market mechanisms such as carbon pricing to reach more ambitious climate goals.
The carbon fee is just the first step in Taiwan’s carbon pricing system. Following on this, Taiwan will launch three major funds to stimulate development of green industries. The Green Growth Fund of NT$10 billion will be established to encourage the growth of emerging domestic net-zero industries. Funding from the insurance and financial sectors will support the Green Finance Innovation Fund for long-term investments in energy-saving, net-zero, and resource-circular industries. Finally, the Taiwan Net-Zero Fund will work to meet domestic and international carbon reduction goals by partnering with domestic emissions-intensive industries, venture capital firms, and financial institutions to assess and invest in various carbon reduction technologies. This fund will also bring Taiwan’s leading companies into global carbon reduction strategies, accelerate net-zero initiatives, and attract greater green investment. Such moves will enhance Taiwan’s international competitiveness, are in line with Article 9 of the Paris Agreement, which calls for developed countries to mobilize climate finance from diverse sources, and will lay a solid foundation for Taiwan’s sustainable development.
In terms of adaptation, Taiwan released its latest National Climate Change Science Report in May. This report provides foundational scientific data for local governments and ministries for use in short- and medium-term adaptation planning. It addresses the development of early-warning mechanisms and system monitoring to improve urban environmental resilience. A multilevel disaster prevention system will be established that incorporates disaster prediction, response, and recovery measures to enhance disaster response capabilities and build a nation that is resilient thanks to integrated disaster prevention, adaptation, and net-zero goals. This aligns with Article 7 of the Paris Agreement, which calls on all parties to promote and implement adaptation policies. Taiwan will continue to use early-warning systems and monitoring measures to refine national adaptation policies.
As a major economy and a hub for technological innovation, Taiwan’s capabilities in renewable energy, climate adaptation, and low-carbon technological innovation can be of great help to global climate governance. Innovation and implementation will be critical drivers of climate action. With the advent of carbon pricing and the promotion of related innovative technologies, Taiwan will participate in global climate action through enhanced domestic policies and systems. We hope the international community will recognize that Taiwan is willing and able to contribute to global climate change efforts.
