A delegation of experts from Taiwan took part in the “Securing the Blue Pacific: Scaling Tech-Driven Ocean and Carbon Stewardship for a Resilient Future” summit held Aug. 30 in Palau for discussions on climate and maritime governance.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the group was led by Alan Lin, deputy executive director of the Office of Energy and Carbon Reduction under Taiwan’s Executive Yuan.
The event involved more than 50 experts, officials and nongovernmental organization representatives from Taiwan, Palau, Japan and the U.S. and covered topics spanning climate change, fisheries, renewable energy and carbon credits, and maritime governance.
Lin said Taiwan is actively promoting carbon credit cooperation through interministerial coordination and possesses extensive blue carbon research and technological know-how. The country has set up measures to conduct a carbon inventory of coastal ecological systems and utilizes satellite remote sensing and artificial intelligence monitoring, he added.
Given its success in measuring and verifying maritime conservation progress and the daunting challenges of climate change, Taiwan is ready and willing to share its expertise in digital governance and low-carbon transition with Pacific partners, the ministry said.
In line with the government’s Diplomatic Allies Carbon Credit policy, Taiwan’s participation underscored the government’s commitment to protecting valuable maritime resources in the region and promoting regional development while helping meet the needs of island nations and enhancing climate and maritime resilience for a Blue Pacific, the MOFA added.
