Emission reduction targetsProject Scope: Global Project Abstract: We (ECOLO JAPAN) http://lp.jiyu.net/ecolo-eng.htm as Green think tank will submit the following statement for 21 point action plan but at the same time, we would like to suggest that its contents be included and considered in the plenary session as well.
Since developed countries—with their drastically higher per-capita emissions in comparison to their developing counterparts—are largely responsible for the problem, they should hold themselves responsible to initiate measures to receive the emissions cut. To clarify each nation’s responsibility, the agreement should be based upon identifying the related principle of “shared but differentiated responsibilities”. To achieve an international agreement of “Post Kyoto” framework, we Greens strongly demand that industrial countries should commit to emissions cuts of at least 25 to 40 % of 1990 levels by 2020, and to reduce at least 80 % of 1990 levels by 2050, promoting campaign for achieving reduction target by a most effective, political measure in each country concerned. For all developed countries, We Greens ask our government to imply the proposal by Stern Review, that at least 1 percent of GDP should be invested to stop global warming. To realise the target, We Greens ask all industrialised countries for challenging all possible countermeasures and policies, such as introduction of carbon tax or emission trade system, or promotion of renewables, energy saving and efficiency, without developing nuclear power.
