Studies confirmed that July 2023 could be the hottest month
on record. The United Nations issued a stern warning,
declaring that the planet has entered an “era of global
boiling” and prompting people to seek “immediate and
workable solutions” for issues such as energy transition,
ecological conservation, food, and education. As part of this
effort, Dr. Ming-Jer Tsai—Director of the Experimental Forest,
College of Bioresources in Agriculture at National Taiwan
University—proposed the “biodiversity credit” at the COP28
UN Climate Change Conference, gaining the whole world’s
attention.
