President Tsai mentions, we're all aware that the target of net-zero emissions by 2050 was a hot topic during last month's COP26. This aim has gained worldwide acceptance, and governments all around the world will seek to reduce carbon emissions in the future.
The key to lowering carbon emissions is to transform our energy industry, and today's Energy Taiwan exhibition illustrates Taiwan's determination and capabilities to create renewable energy.。

In our combined endeavor to advance Taiwan's energy transition, each of you here is an important partner for our government. I've attended the opening ceremony of this exhibition for the past four years, not only to demonstrate how vital energy issues are to this administration, but also to personally thank everyone of you. Taiwan has been able to engage with the international community and contribute more to the globe as a result of your efforts.
Climate change is a worldwide issue, and Taiwan is taking action to address it. The Environmental Protection Agency is now working on modifications to the nation's Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act, which would include enacting the 2050 net-zero target. In addition, the Executive Yuan has established a task force to assess potential pathways to net-zero emissions and prepare a roadmap for our energy transformation.
In addition to physical exhibitions, there will also be online exhibitions from December 8 to 24, providing visitors with a diversified viewing experience integrating virtual and reality.
