ZERO BUDGETING MODEL TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE

Pingtung County, Chinese Taipei, has ambitious goals to tackle climate change and foster its energy transition. One of the strategies is to provide large access to green-powered electricity. The County, which applied to the Transformative Actions Program (TAP) in 2018, managed to set solar photovoltaic (PV) zones in subsidence areas employing a zero budgeting model. This was a key strategy to ensure sustainable land use while achieving a low energy emission target.
