Go Net Zero & Go Green Forum:Industry and Government Unite to Advance from Pledges to Concrete Climate Action
The 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) will convene in November in Belém, Brazil. COP30 president André Corrêa do Lago stressed that climate summits must move from words to real action. In response to such a vision and to promote action-oriented climate strategies, the Green Energy and Sustainability Alliance (GESA) under SEMI is hosting the "Go Net Zero & Go Green Forum" on May 14. With real actions at its core, the forum gathers state institutions, semiconductor giants, and key leaders from low-carbon energy and sustainable technologies to discuss sustainable power development, carbon management, green manufacturing, low-carbon technologies, SAF, water resource sustainability, and multiple sources of green energy. The forum explores in depth how Taiwan can accelerate substantive GHG reduction with policy and technology.

Amendment to Nuclear Regulation Act Passed Reinforcing Nuclear Safety as the Highest Priority
On May 13th, the Legislative Yuan passed the amendment to Article 6 of the Nuclear Reactor Facilities Regulation Act. This amendment provides a legal basis for nuclear power plants to apply for life extension or reactivation. However, further steps are required, including the amendment of implementation regulations and relevant nuclear safety inspection requirements by the competent authority. Only then can Taipower proceed with evaluations. The current operating licenses remain valid for 40 years, meaning power plants must still shut down upon license expiration.
