Taiwan’s green efforts showcased at Paris COP21
On 4 December, an event highlighting Taiwan’s commitment to combating climate change was held at Grand Palais in Paris, targeting representatives from more than 190 nations at COP21 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Staged jointly by MOFA and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), it included an exhibition showcasing the nation’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and interactive activities aimed at enhancing eco-awareness.
One of its main features was an introduction to Taiwan’s leading-edge innovations in recycling technology. Local textile companies have found success in producing high-quality functional fabrics, from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
“Although not a contracting party of the UNFCCC, the ROC has been a strong proponent of green energy and sustainable development in the global community,” a MOFA official said. “The country remains a pioneer in applying state-of-the-art solutions to address environmental concerns.”
