Wednesday, Oct. 7, 5:45–6:15 PM PT | Grand Ballroom at NAAEE 2026 or Zoom
Note: This event is open to the public via Zoom registration. Those joining us for NAAEE 2026 in Portland, Oregon, can watch the live event on the big screen in the Grand Ballroom.
What can Taiwan’s experience teach us about building a more sustainable future through education, policy, and everyday action?
Join Dr. Chi-Ming Peng, Taiwan’s Minister of Environment, for a special conversation exploring how Taiwan is putting sustainability into practice, from circular economy and food waste reduction to net-zero living, urban greening, environmental education, and innovative tools like the Cool Map.
Minister Peng will share practical examples from Taiwan and reflect on how environmental education can help connect policy, community action, and daily choices.
This special session will connect a live audience at the NAAEE Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon, with Minister Peng joining virtually from Taiwan. Educators and environmental leaders from around the world are also invited to join online and be part of this international conversation.
