Because in recent years carbon dioxide has been the major element in the growth of greenhouse gases, the Commission on Sustainable Development has charged the EPA with including CO2 emissions as an item in its environment impact assessments (EIA). In the future, CO2 emissions from major economic construction projects will at least be controlled through the EIA mechanism.
由於這幾年來二氧化碳是溫室氣體成長中的最大項目，「永續會」已經責成環保署將 CO2 排放納入環境影響評估的審查項目，今後重大經濟建設的 CO2 排放量，至少會在環評的機制中管控。
