GREEN SYNERGIES: SUSTAINABILITY, SECURITY AND TAIWAN-EUROPE COLLABORATION

Welcome to the first joint issue of CHOICE and Taiwan Insight! As Taiwan and the European Union advance along their respective paths toward green and digital transitions, they are increasingly prioritizing aspects like renewable energy, circular economy, and sustainable development in both their domestic and foreign policies. This makes it an ideal time to delve into these complex issues – and the growing potential for collaboration between the two – in the realm of green energy and green technologies. This issue covers several key functional topics, including critical raw materials, wind, and solar energy. It also explores potential avenues for cooperation not only at the EU level but also trough sub-regional frameworks, examining opportunities for V4-Taiwan and Balkan-Taiwan “green partnerships.”
