Taiwan hopes to attend UNFCCC conference as observer: official

At the upcoming UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen in December, Taiwan's representation will be confined to non-governmental organizations, including the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the Environmental Quality Protection Foundation, the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy and Supreme Master Television.

Noting that UNFCCC meetings are convened regularly throughout the year, Shen said Taiwan may apply to attend as an observer of the World Health Assembly (WHA), since observers of affiliated agencies of the United Nations are allowed to participate.

"Our role this year is to figure out what are the issues of concern and see what mechanisms will be worked out at the conference," he said.
