From commitments to action: Taiwan and the world creating climate solutions together

In 2026, extreme heat continued to sweep across the globe, with historically high temperatures occurring in many regions. Western Europe experienced its hottest June on record. Extreme heat, drought and wildfires placed pressure on water resources, disrupted public health and energy supplies, and affected economic activity. Taiwan has likewise faced climate risks, including extreme heat, heavy rainfall, and typhoons. Climate change has become a shared challenge with profound implications for social stability, industrial development, and national resilience.
