A resolution that came out of the 2009 National Energy Conference initiated the Implementation of the Low Carbon City Program. The objectives include forming two low carbon demonstration communities in each city and county in two years’ time, six low carbon cities in five years’ time, and four low carbon living spheres with one each in northern, central, southern and eastern Taiwan to be completed by 2020. The Taiwan EPA subsequently set up the Eco Community Implementation Office on June 15, 2009, to implement the Low Carbon City program accordingly.
