Since 2017, the Risk Society and Policy Research Center at National Taiwan University has continuously monitored Taiwan's top ten greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting enterprises. Beginning in 2019, the Center has regularly published the "Tracking Corporate Climate Action" feature, tracking emission changes among Taiwan's high-carbon industries and enterprises.  As the feature enters its seventh year in 2025, we continue to update data on GHG emissions from major emitters required to conduct inventory and registration, as announced by the Ministry of Environment (for 2023). 

The book launch for the research monograph, Taiwan in Net-Zero Transition: An East Asian Perspective on Developmental Environmentalism (2025), authored by Dr. Kuei-Tien Chou, Director of the Risk Society and Policy Research Center (RSPRC) and Professor at the Graduate Institute of National Development, National Taiwan University (NTU), was held in late October, 2025.

As the global net-zero transition accelerates, East Asian societies face complex challenges shaped by carbon-intensive industrial structures, developmental state legacies, and new geopolitical pressures.

The 10th ISESEA, marking Taiwan's third time to host the symposium, will be organized by the Risk Society and Policy Research Center (RSPRC), College of Social Sciences, National Taiwan University, under the support of ISA RC 24. The symposium will be held from 31 October to 2 November, 2025, under the theme "Transboundary Climate and Environmental Governance in East Asia."
