In response to the increasing
climate change impacts, the National Development Council
of the Executive Yuan has established the committee on
"Planning and Development of Climate Change Adaptation
Policy Guideline and Action Plan" in 2010. The committee
was responsible for the planning of national adaptation
work.
Afterward, the Greenhouse Gas
Reduction and Management Act was promulgated in 2015, and
the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) became the
competent authority.
According to regulation from the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act, the “National
Climate Change Action Guidelines” was formulated in 2017, as
the general policy for national greenhouse gas emission
reduction and adaptation work.
The "Greenhouse Gas Reduction and
Management Act (2015)" authorizes the EPA to compile the
"National Climate Adaptation Action Plan (2018-2022)" along
with other ministries. It was approved by the Executive Yuan
on September 9, 2019, to serve as the basis to promote
national adaptation.
