This course intends to start from an understanding of the fundamental principles of energy physics, exploring the energy conversion principles that should arise from the Big Bang. It will also examine the laws of conservation of mass involved behind concepts such as efficiency and pollution, as well as the principles of disorder (entropy) generated during the conversion processes. Based on this, the course aims to establish the basic conditions for viewing energy management and natural resource conservation policies from scientific, biological, economic, and cultural perspectives. Furthermore, it will utilize the new concepts of the Climate Accord (Paris Agreement), which leads global policy development, and draw on the experiences of advanced countries to discuss the key issues affecting the effective implementation of relevant regulations due to the inability of our country's legal policy concepts to penetrate effectively.

Abstract/Objectives
With the entry into force of the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the issue of global environmental sustainability continues to be a matter of common concern for the world. Among these concerns, the environmental issues arising from energy use, coupled with the complex developments on the international political stage, present the most conflicting environmental and developmental disputes in human history. Furthermore, following the WTO's Doha Declaration, which proposed the completion of multilateral negotiations on environment and trade by 2005, the issue of North-South confrontation has also led the world to actively reflect on how to reconcile the pursuit of global free trade in a market economy with the sustainability principles advocated by multilateral environmental protection agreements.
For Taiwan, fulfilling its environmental responsibilities is an unavoidable obligation as a member of the global community. However, Taiwan, which has built its economy on trade, has long based its economic growth on the environmental and natural resource costs borne by the environment and even future generations. Now, participation in the WTO provides us with an opportunity to actively reflect on trade and environmental issues, and the consideration of WTO participation has also created a willingness to address these problems. However, it is essential for Taiwan to move beyond a simple pollution control mindset and actively embrace the vision of aligning with international norms, pursuing clean energy and its benefits, and achieving environmental sustainability. This requires adjusting policy and legal frameworks to lay the foundation for our country's international participation and the development of green industries. This is precisely what this course aims to emphasize.
