Ever since Chinese representation in the UN was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1971, Taiwan - the Republic of China - has been struggling to find its political footing on the international scene. And when it comes to global challenges like climate change issues, Taiwan's political nebulousness makes it difficult, if not impossible, to engage. Taiwanese leaders don't get invited to international negotiations on climate change. In spite of being one of the larger carbon emitters in the world, Taiwan refuses to pass the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act with a positive legally binding target, while it is essential to formulate overall legal framework to manage national mitigation policy. This paper wants to discuss Taiwan's passive response to climate change and its political context
