Ahead of COP29, Cheetah Liu-Lee , Policy and Advocacy Supervisor from Amnesty International’s Taiwan office, assesses the progress made since he was part of Amnesty’s COP28 delegation and shares his key aims for COP29 amid several climate challenges on the island. Last year, we participated in the Amnesty International Delegation at COP28, joining protests with allied human rights organizations and engaging with other international human rights activists. Notably, the conference purported to mark the “beginning of the end” of the fossil fuel era. It also called on countries to triple their renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. Building on this momentum, Amnesty International Taiwan has launched advocacy efforts to raise awareness and promote policy solutions for climate justice and a “just transition” in Taiwan. For COP29, we hope to see more ambitious action plans and standards in areas such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), climate and health, and just transitions. We also hope to see greater involvement from civil society organizations in shaping global climate policies.
