During the pandemic, New Taipei has maintained its commitment to sustainable development and continued to actively address climate change concerns. In November 2020, New Taipei signed the first Climate Emergency Declaration in Taiwan and proposed the 5 + 5 action and strategy plan for the 2030 climate vision taking adaptation and mitigation into account in accordance with SDG climate-related indicators. The five actions involve signing the Climate Emergency Declaration, establishment of the Climate Change and Energy Strategy Committee, commitment to becoming a coal-free city by 2023, reduction in greenhouse gases by 30% in 2030 compared with that recorded in the baseline year, and construction of a net-zero carbon demonstration zone by 2030. The five strategies are energy transformation, energy efficiency improvement, smart innovation, green economy, and resilient disaster prevention. Through the 2030 climate vision, New Taipei is resolute in its determination in urgent climate reform.
