Taiwan’s Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation has launched the country’s first internationally verified carbon reduction guidelines for rural and conservation engineering, aligned with the 2040 Net-Zero Policy. Certified by BSI, the new guide includes 1,320 engineering activities across eight categories and provides methods for emissions estimation, carbon control, and reduction strategies. Effective May 2025, it supports project planning, review, and execution. With a 12.98% carbon reduction achieved in 2024, the guideline institutionalizes carbon management and will guide future green engineering, training, and transparency efforts.
