This is Hsinchu County Voluntary Local Review for 2023.

The United Nations officially launched the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2016 as global guidelines for sustainable development until 2023. To align with the worldwide trends of sustainable development, Hsinchu County has been continuously striving for sustainability. In 2021, we completed our first Voluntary Local Review (VLR) on sustainable development, which set priorities for implementation. This year (2023), we conducted a comprehensive review of Hsinchu County's progress on the 17 SDG indicators, policies, and the achievement of short, medium, and long-term goals. Through this review, we identified policy gaps and proposed improvements. Hsinchu county government will continue to formulate, plan, and implement policies based on the sustainable development goals outlined in this report. We will also remain flexible and adapt our strategies to respond to domestic and international changes, ensuring close alignment between policy directions and sustainable development. Moreover, we are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities as global citizens, demonstrating our determination to promote sustainable development, and working together to create a sustainable future for Hsinchu County.

This report primarily follows four major policy development axes in Hsinchu County: "Economic Development," "Cultural and Educational Promotion," "Social Welfare Enhancement," and "Quality Living." It also incorporates the spirit of the SDGs' "Leaving No One Behind" principle. Building upon the first edition of the Voluntary Local Review, discussions were held to review and adjust policies based on the county's current progress and related needs. The report encompasses a compilation and analysis of the sustainable development achievements of various departments and bureaus in the county, including 154sustainable policies, 74 stakeholder consultations and collaborations, and the establishment of 69 specific short, medium, and long-term sustainable development goals for Hsinchu County.

Through reviewing the sustainable development process of Hsinchu County and considering factors such as its natural environment, population, and industries, we recognize the challenges faced in promoting sustainable development among the post-pandemic era, AI digital development, and the transition of net-zero. Whether it involves striking a balance between traditional nature conservation and economic development or urgently addressing and adapting to climate change, we need to develop responsive strategies and seize transformation opportunities. This way, we can meet the needs of the present generation without impairing the well-being of future generations. Leaving no one behind, we will collectively stride towards a sustainable path.
