歐盟執委會自2019年底提出綠色政綱(EU Green Deal)，宣示2050年達成溫室氣體淨零排放，今年7月14日進一步公布於2030年降低55％溫室氣體排放量，其中包括全球關注的「碳邊境調整機制」法案，第一波管制產品包括水泥、鋼鐵、鋁業、肥料及發電業等5大行業，預計2023至2025年間試運行，2026年起正式對出口至歐盟的高碳排產品課徵關稅。

Taiwan will set up its first office in Europe using the name “Taiwan,” drawing a rebuke from China and praise from the U.S. as the island democracy seeks to strengthen its diplomatic presence around the globe in the face of pressure from Beijing.
The government in Taipei will open its office in the eastern European Union state of Lithuania, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said in a briefing Tuesday. Taiwan’s other diplomatic outposts on the continent are under the name of “Taipei.”
“Lithuania has firmly believed in universal values such as democracy, freedom and human rights, and is a like-mined partner of Taiwan,” Wu said. “Taiwan and Lithuania are both at the strategic front line to safeguard democratic and free regimes.”
