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.
