講座亮點回顧：

開場時， Sr. Fernando Schmidt 風趣地用「Chile is called Chile, but we don't eat chilli!」的雙關語點燃全場氣氛，同時澄清其實智利的飲食文化並不以辛辣為主，這幽默的開場讓現場笑聲不斷，也瞬間拉近了講者與學生的距離。

台灣與智利的能源雙向交流：

Sr. Fernando Schmidt 在講座中深入探討了智利和台灣在氣候變遷和能源領域的合作潛力。他指出，智利正在積極應對乾旱與森林火災等氣候挑戰，並致力於在2025年實現碳中和。這與台灣的氣候政策不謀而合，雙方共同承諾推進可持續發展目標，為環境永續盡一份力。

台灣以強大的半導體產業為基礎，對電力需求龐大，為了邁向淨零排放，台灣在今年將2050年淨零排放目標納入《氣候變遷因應法》，並啟動了一系列低碳轉型計畫。智利則在再生能源領域展現巨大潛力，雙方有望通過經驗分享與合作交流，打造更永續的供應鏈、優化物流、促進產業現代化，實現雙贏局面。

學長回娘家：

值得一提的是，Sr. Fernando Schmidt 不僅是智利駐台商務辦事處的處長，還是我們政治大學亞太研究英語博士學位學程的學長！他的經驗成就為同學們樹立了良好的榜樣，也激勵更多學生以全球視野探索未來。

再次感謝所有參與活動的同學和老師，希望透過這場講座，大家對智利這個充滿潛力的國家有了更多了解，也期待未來台灣與智利有更多合作機會！

On Friday, December 13, 2024, the lecture "Exploring the Charm and Potential of Chile: Chile—Creating Future!," presented by Sr. Fernando Schmidt, Director of Chilean Trade Office Taiwan, was held in Room 250206, Research Building, NCCU. The event attracted many students and was hosted by Dr. Cheng-Han Wu from the Department of English. The atmosphere was lively, and the audience response was positive!

Highlights from the Lecture:

The session began humorously with Sr. Fernando Schmidt stating, "Chile is called Chile, but we don’t eat chilli!" This clever pun not only sparked laughter but also clarified that Chilean cuisine is not predominantly spicy, instantly breaking the ice with the audience.

Chile and Taiwan: A Collaborative Future in Energy

Sr. Fernando Schmidt explored the potential for collaboration between Chile and Taiwan in addressing climate change and energy challenges. He highlighted Chile’s proactive efforts in combating droughts and wildfires, alongside its ambitious goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. These initiatives align closely with Taiwan’s climate policies and show a shared commitment to advancing sustainable development.

Taiwan, with its robust semiconductor industry and high energy demands, has incorporated its 2050 net-zero emissions goal into the Climate Change Response Act this year, initiating a range of low-carbon transition projects. Meanwhile, Chile is emerging as a leader in renewable energy and offering enormous potential for partnership. By exchanging expertise and fostering collaboration, both countries can build a more sustainable supply chain, optimize logistics, modernize industries, and create a win-win scenario.

Notably, Sr. Fernando Schmidt is not only the Director of Chilean Trade Office Taiwan but also an alumnus of NCCU’s International Doctoral Program in Asia Pacific Studies! His achievements serve as an inspiring example for current students and encourage them to explore their future with a global perspective.

We thank all the students and faculty who participated in this event. We hope this lecture deepened your understanding of Chile—a nation full of potential—and look forward to seeing more collaboration between Taiwan and Chile in the future!
