‚b‚c‚lCDM for solving a global environmental problemBackground and PurposeThe
Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 and took effect in February 2005.Under this protocol, binding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are assigned to developed countries.
Japan has a commitment to reduce 6% from the carbon dioxide discharge levels of 1990 between 2008 and 2012. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport promotes inflection of the CDM as one of its international actions. As for this, a developed country and a developing country carry out a greenhouse gas reduction project jointly in a developing country and the developed country can devote a part of the quantity of reduction that occurred to quantity of
reduction of the own country. This structure supports the sustained development of developing countries. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is promoting inflection of the CDM as one of the international actions.
This system is shared by developed and developing nations by carrying out a greenhouse gas reduction project in a developing country and then
assigning part of the reduction that occurred to that of the developed nation. It supports the sustained development of the developing country.This project is aimed at making techniques to clarify the greenhouse gas discharge reduction
quantity in the field of traffic of developing countries, and the feasibility of the CDM project with this technique.
Business summaryWe carry out these projects in Bangkok, Thailand where greenhouse gas discharge per-person is high in Asian developing countries, and the ratio of the discharge of the field of transportation is high.
