Taiwan's Net-Zero Race: Can Renewables Catch Up?

Uma Talavan didn't always know she was different.. which is not surprising, because her people were seen to have been "assimilated" since 1945. But that changed in the 1990s, when the Plains Indigenous people began their campaign for official recognition began in the 1990s. As of the end of September, the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP), said 1,336 people had completed registration as Indigenous Siraya… Its a triumph for Uma and her husband Edgar Makapili, who was instrumental in the discovery that the Siraya language could be revived and taught to a new generation. Hosted by ICRT's Tim Berge and Hope Ngo.

Awakening Siraya: Uma Talavan and Edgar Macapili on Reviving a ‘Lost’ Language

Recent economic projections show Taiwan's economy on track to experience record growth. So if Taiwan is doing so well, why isn't everyone enjoying the fruits of Taiwan's high tech industries? Lin Thung-hong of Academia Sinica has studied the forces that have shaped Taiwan's economy for decades. He unpacks the origins of today's problems, which sees some sectors and households surge ahead while others stall or slip behind. He explains why he thinks Taiwan's economy isn't shaped the way economists think it is, and he traces the historical and structural forces that produced the divide, from industrial strategy to labor markets and wages.
