President William Lai presented Taiwan's climate resilience plans to the National Climate Change Committee on October 1, 2026. The plans outline two strategies: expanding urban forests to reduce heat and improving transportation networks by accelerating the transition to greener transport. The government plans to incorporate public suggestions into a national urban forest plan for submission by the end of the year.

The strategies require government implementation and execution by the Executive Yuan. The initiatives aim to strengthen the nation’s ability to adapt to extreme weather and a forecasted “super El Nino.” Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun is overseeing the drafting of special legislation for these efforts.
