The Environmental
Protection Administration (EPA) has shared Taiwan’s experiences with climate
change with the international community. That was on the sidelines of the UN
Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC), which concluded in Spain on Sunday.
Although Taiwan
was barred from participating in the global event due to pressure from China,
the government was able to share Taiwan’s experience on the sidelines.
An EPA official
said Monday that the government held 42 exchanges with other countries in the
areas of renewable energy, CO2 reduction and recycling. Taiwanese NGOs also
held 13 meetings, demonstrating the country’s soft power.
At the event, 13
allies spoke or wrote in favor of Taiwan’s bid to join the international
organization. They included: Tuvalu, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Nauru,
Belize, Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay, Saint Christopher and Nevis, Saint Lucia,
Saint Vincent, eSwatni and Guatemala.
