[Kaohsiung News] Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai chaired a municipal administrative meeting on March 24, where the Education Bureau presented plans for the 2026 Kaohsiung Children’s Day celebrations. According to the Education Bureau, a series of Children’s Day events titled “Dinosaur Cool Park” will be held from April 3 to April 6 at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying). The highlight of this year’s program is the first-ever Taiwan performance by Japan’s renowned realistic dinosaur troupe DINO-A-LIVE, featuring a combination of dinosaur stage shows, interactive experiences, and science education to create an immersive, dinosaur-themed event.
To bring the excitement to an even wider audience, the Bureau will also host pop-up promotional events on April 1 and 2, offering children the chance to meet the dinosaurs up close and enjoy interactive encounters ahead of the main event. Chen noted that the city has planned a wide range of engaging activities at Weiwuying for the Children’s Day holiday. He also instructed the Education Bureau to closely monitor weather conditions and ensure effective crowd management and surrounding traffic flow during the event.
The meeting also included a special report on net zero emissions presented by the Environmental Protection Bureau, covering topics such as ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventories, ISO 14064-2 project-based reduction initiatives, and the role of carbon pricing in driving industrial emissions reductions. Chen emphasized that, with regard to carbon fee policies, the Environmental Protection Bureau should continue assisting local industries in developing and implementing voluntary reduction plans to achieve substantive emissions reductions and qualify for preferential rates. He further instructed all departments to cooperate with training initiatives led by the Environmental Protection Bureau to ensure that key personnel obtain relevant certification, thereby embedding a culture of net zero and sustainability within the city government.
