The MOENV held the public hearing on the draft goals for the third regulatory stage of greenhouse gas emissions at the Ministry’s multifunctional conference hall on 7 February. It attracted many people to sign up and ended up with nearly 800 participating in person and online. Public opinions were collected over the Climate Talks platform. MOENV and all six relevant departments presented the draft third stage goals during the hearing, and the public was allowed to be registered to speak. In total, 26 spoke at the hearing in person and 46 online and in writing, all from fields covering NGOs or representatives of young adults, students and businesses. Legal technical consultation boards and experts and scholars specializing in human rights and gender equality were invited to provide their insights. In nearly four hours of presentations and responses from government agencies, an open, transparent and science-based communication and dialogue was done to reach public consensus discuss Taiwan's national reduction goal by 2030 (emission reduced by 28±2% compared to that of 2005), and work together towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
