Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive macro-environment analysis through a political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) analysis approach. This paper aims to help the international community to understand Taiwan's Progress in realizing Sustainable Development Goals and share its initiatives. A total of 30 sustainability initiatives were drawn from the twenty-four reports published by the National Council of Sustainable Development (NCSD) in Taiwan between the years 1999 to 2022. This paper’s findings show Taiwan has shaped the growth momentum in sustainable development and could be a benchmark for other countries.
