To implement concrete measures and achieve the goal of a low-carbon homeland over the next ten years, on Earth Day, 22 April 2010, Premier Wu presided over an initiative formally launched by the EPA to help build low-carbon communities. In order to accelerate the move toward a low carbon society, the 2009 National Energy Meeting proposed a vision for Taiwan to create a low-carbon homeland within ten years. A concrete plan was proposed to develop two low-carbon communities (at the level of borough or higher) within every county and municipality by the year 2011. This would result in the creation of 50 low-carbon communities nationwide. In the next few years, the plan would result in the creation of six low-carbon cities by 2014, and four low-carbon living spheres in northern, central, southern and eastern Taiwan by 2020. The EPA was put in charge of implementing this plan.
