In response to rising corporate demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) action and carbon credits, Taiwan’s Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency launched the “Nature-Based Carbon Credits and Biodiversity Projects Matching Platform（自然碳匯與生物多樣性專案媒合平臺）in 2022. The platform connects enterprises with projects focused on forest carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and Indigenous community engagement on state-owned forestland. As global climate regulations tighten—such as the EU’s upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)—and major companies like Apple and Google press suppliers to reduce emissions, the platform offers transparent project listings, flexible collaboration terms, and third-party verified sustainability outcomes. It aligns with global targets such as the SDGs and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (K-M GBF), helping companies avoid greenwashing while supporting local communities.
