AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Minister of Environment Peng Chi-ming stated that Taiwan's greenhouse gas reduction in 2025 is estimated at about 9%, making it difficult to achieve the original target of 10%. In 2024, emissions decreased by 6.59% from the 2005 baseline year and by 1.92% from 2023. To meet the 2030 target of a 28% reduction, Taiwan needs to cut emissions by about 4% annually for the next five years, posing a significant challenge.
