Though not a UN member, Taiwan engages regularly on an unofficial basis with relevant UN agencies on the issues of climate change, including at The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Taiwan announced its own voluntary Intended Nationally Determined Contribution level before the UN Paris Conference in 2015, committing to a reduction of 20% on the 2005 level of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
