Group 4:
Barriers and opportunities:
Approaches to sensitive LCS sectors
Group Chairs Dr. Jim Watson
  Mr. Naoya Tsukamoto
Rapporteur Dr. Jiang Kejun
  Dr. Toshi Arimura
Aim of the working group : Group3

This group should discuss what sectors are most sensitive and/or vulnerable in the transition to LCS. It should discuss the barriers that exist in such sectors (such as iron & steel) and what approaches can help to overcome them. A key concern will be to create the conditions which will allow these sectors to take advantage of new and emerging green products and services. We can expect a discussion on competitiveness in an international approach to sectors. We should aim to deliver positive messages on the opportunities that exist for sectors in new “green” markets and policy measures to achieve level playing fields.
 
Key Questions: Group4

  • What sectors are most sensitive and/or vulnerable in the transition to LCS?

  • What kind of inertia hinders transition to LCSs (concepts, social systems, economic systems, infrastructure, etc)?

  • What opportunities exist for such sectors in new ''green'' markets and what policy measures exist to achieve international level playing fields?
