摘 要: | After 1960s, the economic developmental explosion in Taiwan had brought serious environmental degradations including the air and water pollution, waste disposal, as well as wildlife problems. Since then, Taiwanese has begun environmental protection movements striving for "environmental rights". In addition, international environmental agreements have grown with great speed in the past decades. Although Taiwan never signed or joined any international environmental agreements or organizations, the development of international environmental laws still deeply affect Taiwan environmental regulations. Under this global trend, Taiwan has to cooperate with international community and to obey international environmental agreements. Thus Taiwan had passed numerous environmental laws including "Air Pollution Control Act," "Water Pollution Control Act," "Noise Control Act," "Waste Management Act," "Toxic Chemicals Management Act," "Wildlife Protection Act," and "Nuisance Dispute Resolution Act." Thus the article will examine Taiwan's environmental administration, regulations as well as the implication under international agreements.
