The Ministry of Environment hosted an international workshop July 14-15 in Taipei City to discuss key environmental issues, demonstrating Taiwan’s commitment to promoting international cooperation on environmental sciences.
According to the MOENV, the 7-SEAS Workshop brought together more than one hundred scientists and experts from Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, the U.S. and Europe.
The event featured keynote lectures, scientific presentations and poster sessions, with discussions focusing on cross-border pollution, climate change, atmospheric monitoring and environmental governance, among other key issues.
The workshop also included a visit to the Lulin Atmospheric Background Station to celebrate the facility’s 20th anniversary. Located at 2,862 meters above sea level in Yushan National Park, the facility is one of East Asia’s premier high-mountain atmospheric background observatories and has contributed long-term observations to international monitoring networks.
Since its establishment in 2007, the 7-SEAS project has become one of the leading atmospheric science collaborations in the Asia-Pacific to conduct joint observations, promote scientific exchanges and facilitate capacity building.
Its collaborations with global entities, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from the U.S., have further strengthened regional scientific understanding and provided important scientific evidence to inform policies, the MOENV said.
The ministry said it will continue to enhance environmental monitoring through innovations such as big data analysis integrating artificial intelligence, satellite remote sensing and smart monitoring technologies, while expanding international cooperation to attain cleaner air, healthier environments and sustainable development.
