On December 18, 2012, the Interior Minister of the ROC Executive Yuan, Dr. Lee Hong-yuan, came to TKU’s Tamsui Campus to give a special lecture. The lecture was entitled “A Memorandum for Taiwan in 2030”. It talked of Taiwan’s future in terms of government policy on environmental issues, as well as public policy and participation by citizens in the decision-making process.

Interior Minister Lee began his speech by discussing environmental and structural problems currently plaguing Taiwan, such as measures in place to prevent flooding, the depletion of oil resources, the ever-increasing possibility of insufficient food sources, and the rising average temperatures experienced in Taiwan in recent years.

Fifth year Department of Architecture student, Li Kuan-ru, said that the speech left a lasting impression. He got a deep sense of the responsibility on the shoulders of today’s youth to challenge and overcome society’s problems and to create a sustainable home for generations to come.
