TAIWAN AND THE UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

That this House supports Taiwan's campaign for meaningful participation in international organisations; notes with concern Taiwan's continued exclusion from meaningful participation in United Nations-specialised agencies; further notes with concern that Taiwan is an island threatened by rising sea levels and extreme weather events; recognises that Taiwan has passed a Renewable Energy Act and drafted a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act; calls for Taiwan's meaningful participation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); welcomes Taiwan's bid to participate in the activities and mechanisms of the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol and post-2012 agreements; and further calls on the Government to support Taiwan's justifiable bid for UNFCCC observer status in order to institutionalise Taiwan's meaningful participation in UNFCCC activities.
