Promoting Net-Zero Emission Actions in National Parks
In our commitment to safeguard vital natural carbon sinks across the country, the MOI is advancing scientific management practices within national parks. This includes conducting comprehensive inventories of forests, wetlands, and other natural carbon sinks within these parks, establishing carbon balance accounts, and devising strategies to enhance carbon sequestration while reducing emissions. By integrating the core principles of ecological diversity with the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, this initiative aims to create frameworks and models for corporate social responsibility, encouraging increased corporate engagement in conservation efforts.
Furthermore, the MOI is dedicated to accelerating greenhouse gas removal through initiatives that enhance environmental diversity and vegetation cover within national parks. In collaboration with private sector partners, the MOI is focusing efforts on coral restoration in marine environments, prioritizing regions such as the South Penghu Marine National Park, Dongsha Atoll National Park, and Kenting National Park. These partnerships are crucial for promoting proactive conservation actions and sustainable practices in marine ecosystems.
Accelerating Building Net-Zero Transition
Responding to global net-zero efforts, and in line with the blueprint for advancing net-zero emissions buildings, the MOI is committed to implementing Taiwan’s national Building Energy-Efficiency Rating System (BERS). Commencing from July 2023, this initiative will be rolled out in a phased manner, starting from public-owned buildings and followed by the comprehensive introduction of " Building Energy-Efficiency Level 1 Rating for New Residential Buildings " in social housing and government-initiated urban renewal projects, encouraging private-owned buildings to follow suit. The MOI will continue to collaborate with relevant government agencies, legal entities, and industry groups, fostering public-private collaborative model to advance towards the goal of net-zero sustainability.
