Low-Carbon Society Model Capacity Building Workshop
- Bridge Simulation Scenarios and Sustainable LCS Policy Implementation using AIM (Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) -

Time	9:00-16:30, November 19 (Fri.), 2010
Venue	Pullman King Power Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand.
Language	English-Thai Simultaneous translation is available.
Organizer	TGO, SIIT-TU, JGSEE and NIES

Objectives

1) Introduce LCS scenario making process to stakeholders for better understanding how to use simulation studies for policy formulation and implementation

2) Learn to operate LCS simulation model (simple version) and assess the CO2 reduction possibilities effected by change of driving forces (population, GDP etc.) and countermeasures (energy savings in buildings and industries, modal shift in transportation etc.)

3) Communicate between policymakers, business, researchers to discuss how to develop feasible LCS scenarios and policy options

Workshop Proceedings

All presentations and discussions are summarized in a proceedings.
