Kaohsiung mayor urges talent focus for net-zero goals

TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai emphasized the role of talent in driving the transition to net-zero emissions during a post-COP28 event on Tuesday (Dec. 19).

Speaking at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), Chen shared insights from COP28 and called on businesses to display greater ambition in adopting sustainable energy practices.

At the event focused on the path to a net-zero future, Chen encouraged local governments to stay informed about global trends and the outcomes of COP28. He emphasized the need to develop relevant policies and collaborate with industries.

COP28 recently conducted its first global stocktake since the Paris Climate Agreement, establishing new carbon reduction targets for the post-2030 period.

The Kaohsiung City Government's Environmental Protection Bureau (KSEPB) actively participated in COP28 discussions on topics like renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Chen urged businesses to explore innovative approaches beyond conventional emission reductions and negative emissions strategies. He underscored the potential of solutions like hydrogen energy and advised companies to consider a broader spectrum of clean energy applications, including advancements in Taiwan's carbon solution exchange projects.
