The 11th Smart City Summit and Expo (SCSE) in Taipei, Taiwan, has successfully kicked off, featuring a wide array of exhibitors and international guests focused on smart city innovations and net-zero solutions. The event underscores Taiwan’s leading role in ICT and green transformation, setting a new attendance record and highlighting the importance of global cooperation in achieving net-zero goals.

Kaohsiung City Government’s Finance Bureau has become the first in Taiwan to be granted the qualification to issue green bonds, with a total amount of NT＄2 billion. This move is expected to save on interest payments and enact sustainable environmental practices without increasing the city’s debt. The green bonds will fund green investment projects, encompassing renewable energy development, enhanced energy efficiency, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. These bonds, totaling NT＄2 billion, will utilize their low, fixed interest rates to replace existing higher-interest bank loans, ensuring resources are invested in low-carbon construction. Under Mayor Chen Chi-mai’s leadership, the city has reduced its debt by NT＄10.6 billion by the end of 2022, surpassing the goal of a NT＄10 billion reduction. Kaohsiung aims to continue strengthening its financial and environmental sustainability and implement comprehensive net-zero policies as it works toward a 2050 net-zero goal.

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYMCU) has partnered with the American Climate Club (ACC) to establish the American Taiwan Climate Club. This collaboration aims to contribute to the global net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050. The two institutions have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop international carbon standards and propose a white paper on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. NYMCU is committed to raising global citizens with sustainability awareness and plans to integrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals into its academics and research. The partnership also has the potential to pave the way for Taiwan’s engagement in international carbon trading and promote green economic growth. The American Climate Club, registered in Texas, collaborates with government agencies, carbon reduction technology firms, carbon quality monitoring, carbon asset services, and climate and carbon finance funds. The newly formed American Taiwan Climate Club will focus on climate education, international cooperation, carbon project investment, carbon advisory services, and policy research to strengthen climate protection efforts.

芬蘭奧蘭銀行希望透過消費行為，讓消費者知道自己為地球帶來多少損害，將足跡與消費行為以世界銀行的碳價格計算成本，最後透過每月帳單或App，讓消費者知道碳排量，進而減少浪費。 金融科技蓬勃發展，金管會為持續精進及跟上國際腳步，今年8月發布升級版的「金融科技發展路徑圖2.0」，內容包括4項目標：包容、公平、永續及國際化，另一方面推動策略的部分，囊括4大面向，其中包括推動綠色永續科技，而金管會了解到科技能為綠色金融帶來新的應用層面，運用大數據分析串接綠色永續的橋樑，讓科技助綠色金融一臂之力。 金管會參考綠色數位金融聯盟（Green Digital Finance Alliance）與瑞士綠色金融科技網絡（Swiss Green Fintech Network）在2022年發布「綠色金融科技分類」報告，將綠色金融科技定義於金融科技應用在達成永續發展目標的金融流程及創新技術的金融產品，以此作為八大綠色金融科技分類，其中就綠色數位支付與帳戶類別來說，將碳計算運用在消費者的消費行為之中，讓消費者能清楚自己在消費行為上產生的碳足跡，以每月統計數值，並且透過不同的抵換或獎勵方式促使消費者重視環境保護，進一步改變消費者的消費行為。
