The Ministry of Economic Affairs hosted the 2026 Asia Low Emission Development Strategies Partnership Forum, demonstrating commitment to international exchange and cooperation in energy and net-zero transition.
The forum drew experts and representatives from countries including Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan and the U.S. Discussions centered on two themes, artificial intelligence-driven transition and inclusive net-zero emissions.
Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Lai Chien-hsin noted that Taiwan promotes transition by diversifying energy sources, saving and storing energy as well as strengthening the power grid to provide stable power for industrial development and to meet net-zero goals.
Emani Kumar, deputy secretary-general of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, noted that despite differences in energy structures and local conditions, governments all face the same climate change and transition challenges.
The forum explored impact brought about by rapid AI advancement to energy systems and infrastructure. Implementation of carbon reduction goals were illustrated and discussed using international infrastructure case studies, as was regional cooperation and industrial city transformation.
Since the MOEA’s enrollment in ALP in 2018, it has leveraged the platform as an exchange mechanism with Asia-Pacific partners. Taiwan is committed to work with international partners to advance regional resilience, the ministry stated. (POC-E)
