Fourteen top Taiwanese scholars join forces to analyze the new geopolitical and international political landscape of the 21st century, offering fresh perspectives to Taiwan and guiding it out of its current predicament! With escalating tensions between the US and China, the COVID-19 pandemic, and conflicts erupting worldwide... are we heading towards a divided world? Globalization seems to be a thing of the past, while regionalization is rapidly on the rise. In this era of profound change, understanding the global situation is more urgent than ever.

Abstract:
Images serve, among other things, to stimulate and organize memory, convey information and express emotions. Beyond these universal functions, they also have the power to make present and transmit what we might call ontologies, that is, sets of qualities detected in beings and things. The four main ones – animism, naturalism, totemism, and analogism – are expressed in a wide variety of images from all five continents, and the lecture will propose an anthropological interpretation of them.

This forum, hosted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan - Low Carbon Initiative (LCI), and the European Union Center in Taiwan (EUTW), will take place on 13 October, 2023. As global corporations commit to net-zero emissions, energy transition policies worldwide are creating both opportunities and risks. In 2022, global energy transition investment reached $1.1 trillion, a 31% increase. In Taiwan, the development and procurement of green energy (CPPA) have become a focal point. The 2022 RE100-LCI report highlights that, due to Taiwan's 2021 policy requiring major electricity consumers (around 300 companies with a contract capacity exceeding 5,000 kW) to procure 10% renewable energy by 2025, demand for renewable energy has surged. This is expected to add approximately 1 GW. Effective policy changes continue to drive the energy transition, making sustainable development a significant export opportunity for Taiwan. Governments and businesses worldwide have made green energy a top priority. This forum will focus on quantifying risks, formulating policies, and interpreting market dynamics to address this major transition, examining these issues from both a global and Taiwanese perspective.
