The purpose of this symposium is to bring
Japanese researchers and stakeholders on climate change to a
common forum, and inform them of national-level climate policy
scenarios toward 2050 that have been developed in UK, Germany,
Netherlands, France, and other countries. Our concerns are how
to develop those scenarios and evaluate their impact on policy
measures which include: (i) Rationale behind the selection of
reduction targets, (ii) How to evaluate reduction measures and
their economic impacts, and (iii) How to chart out implementation
roadmap.
This symposium is an important activity of the new research
project "Low Carbon Society Japan 2050" sponsored
by Ministry of Environment, Japan since 2004. This will be the
first opportunity for experts in this field to get together.
This symposium would contribute to achieving the objective of
a low carbon society. |
