2025-11-05Session Overview ： This forum convenes leading experts and representatives from climate organizations in Australia, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan to examine recent policy developments shaping the region’s energy transition and to critically assess energy-related commitments. Participants will discuss challenges, opportunities, and lessons from practice—including permitting reform, the double-edged implications of AI, and market design considerations. Guiding Questions : Which 2–3 near-term reforms—permitting and siting, transmission build-out, market design—would close the 2035 gap fastest by 2026, and what sequencing and accountability are needed ? With surging AI/data-center and electrification demand, what portfolio of demand-side resources, storage, grids, and clean firm capacity best maintains reliability, affordability, and emissions reductions? How can the four countries jointly build a resilient, low-carbon clean-energy supply chain—covering renewables, storage, grids, critical minerals, and workforce—while managing costs, security, and standards interoperability?

2025-11-05Session Overview: Carbon pricing is an essential pillar of climate policy. Across the Asia–Pacific’s major emitting economies, important shifts are underway: Taiwan has launched a carbon fee mechanism, Japan is advancing the GX-ETS, Korea has entered Phase 4 of the K-ETS. Yet no country can move forward in isolation from global political and economic headwinds. On one side, the EU’s CBAM is slated to take effect in 2026; on the other, proposals such as Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” are being invoked by high-emitting industries as a pretext to delay carbon pricing. Against this backdrop, the Taiwan Climate Action Network (TCAN) is convening representatives from Korea, Japan and Taiwan to examine the implementation challenges of carbon pricing in each country, the role these instruments play in achieving NDC 3.0 (the next round of nationally determined contributions), and how international geopolitics is shaping domestic policy design.
