The 2050 Net Zero City Expo is set to get underway March 18-21 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, highlighting government work to share Taiwan’s digital transformation and net-zero technology solutions while exploring cooperation opportunities for cities from home and abroad.
Organized by the National Development Council and Taipei Computer Association with support from the Executive Yuan National Council for Sustainable Development, the expo will focus on digital and green transformation featuring 12 local cities and counties. The numbers of enterprises and global cities participating in the event have all reached record highs, according to NDC Deputy Minister Kao Shien-quey.
An expo highlight is the Taiwan Net-Zero Pavilion launched by the NDC in collaboration with Ministries of Economic Affairs, Environment, Transportation and Communications and the Interior as well as the National Science and Technology Council, the council said. The pavilion will display achievements and blueprints, which align with the National Project of Hope and its five major strategies for 2050 net-zero transition, it added.
At the Net Zero City Leaders Summit which accompanies the expo, participants will discuss topics spanning artificial intelligence empowerment, climate adaptation and energy management. A business matching event will also be held to help local firms explore collaboration opportunities and create bridges between international buyers and suppliers.
According to the NDC, the government updated its Nationally Determined Contributions earlier this year, aiming to increase the greenhouse gas emission target to a reduction of 28±2 percent compared with 2005 by 2030. To this end, it plans to allocate a budget of over NT$1 trillion (US$30.37 billion) and to promote 20 carbon reduction flagship action plans, which are expected to generate over NT$5 trillion of private investment, the council said.
