(中央社訊息服務20250513 16:35:59)In alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the 2050 global net-zero and sustainability goals, the SEPLS Carbon Credit Regional Revitalization Center is advancing the Satoyama Mace Initiative, an international program endorsed by the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) hold by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS). This initiative collaborates with corporate partners to develop biodiversity carbon credit technology and establish a Small Grant Fund to support ecological restoration and sustainable innovation.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the “Voluntary Biodiversity Carbon Credit Technical Cooperation and Exchange” will be signed at a ceremony on May 13, 2025, at 10:30 AM, held at NCKU’s Resource Engineering Building (2nd floor, Xuecheng Hall). Signing parties include Prof. Yen-Hsun Su of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and corporate partners Mr. Cheng-Hsin Wang, Chairman of Fusheng-Chang Construction Co., Ltd., and Mr. Cheng-Chung Wei, Chairman of Daxitian Construction Co., Ltd.

A memorandum of understanding was signed between Fusheng-Chang Construction, Daxitian Construction and the NCKU team to advance carbon offsetting and the transformation of ecological value.

Under the MOU, participating companies will contribute 50% of the carbon credits generated from cooperative technology projects toward the establishment of a Small Grant Fund. The fund aims to support the development of ecological restoration and sustainable innovation aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), biodiversity enhancement, rural ecological governance in Satoyama Initiative, and international carbon credit field sites. The goal is to establish a sustainable, innovation-driven ecosystem through community participation and technological advancement over the next five years.

Operating as a non-profit platform, the Satoyama Mace Initiative integrates science, land management, ecology, and industry to establish a biodiversity carbon certification system. From 2024 to 2030, the project targets 60 million metric tons of carbon sequestration, while using the small grant mechanism to iteratively support biodiversity and climate action programs.

This endeavor directly responds to the three core objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework by creating a feedback mechanism between corporate carbon value and ecological investment. It enhances the strategic importance of environmental restoration in international carbon markets, net-zero transition pathways, and emerging energy technologies.

By deepening the operation of the Satoyama Mace Initiative platform, the program aims to bridge carbon credits, innovation, local revitalization, and international ecological governance — guiding the world toward a future of climate and ecological harmony.
