Origin of Establishment
Soil health and carbon sequestration have gained significant attention since the introduction of the "4 Per 1000 Initiative" at the Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as part of the Lima-Paris Action Plan in Paris (COP 21, November 30 to December 11, 2015) by France. In line with the 2050 Taiwan Net-Zero target, "Natural carbon sinks" are projected as one of the 12 key strategic actions. Soil, forest, and ocean carbon sinks are identified as the three major pathways, supplemented by research and scientific technologies to improve the efficiency of carbon sequestration, with a dedicated goal of achieving 10 million metric tons of carbon sequestered by 2040.
