The 2050 Net Zero City Expo got underway March 18 in Taipei City as part of public-private cooperation to promote sustainable development under the government’s “2050 Net Zero Pathway” policy.
Organized by the National Development Council and Taipei Computer Association, the four-day event showcases government commitment to implementing net-zero strategies and positioning Taiwan as a global leader in sustainable innovation.
In addition to pavilions spotlighting government policy, technology, solutions, innovations and cross-border collaboration, the event also features a leaders’ summit for high-level dialogue for mayors and city leaders from around the globe.
