Mayor Hou stated that New Taipei City began to take actions and align with the international community in promoting sustainable development four years ago and has published two VLR reports and held multiple international forums since then. In response to the United Nations sustainable development goals of reaching net zero emissions globally, New Taipei City hopes to achieve comprehensive bus electrification by 2030 and incorporate zero-carbon design concepts into urban renewal and major development plans.

Mayor Hou emphasized that "energy conservation and carbon reduction" is no longer an issue of public welfare but an issue of survival! New Taipei City will actively confront challenges with the world in the sustainable, net zero, and post-pandemic era. Like the theme of this forum "ING," New Taipei is a city that is implementing and will continue to implement SDGs.
