The focus is on actions taken by
the private sector including business
corporations promoting environmental and
energy-saving measures
|
| Private sectors, which have promoted environmental and energy saving actions, shall be the research subject for IGES Kansai Research Centre. Based on cooperation with research related countries and local governments, specific strategies shall be formulated through promotion of low-carbon technology to developing countries where the focus has been on environmental and energy saving within private sectors, as well as co-benefit technology project etc. |

| Market-based measures toward improvement of the private sector’s carbon performance in East Asia (MBIs) |
|
| Regarding the climate change policy with economic instruments (taxation or emissions trading etc.), focusing on East Asia, the existing gap between current policy and effective/disable policies shall be identified through （1）Evaluation of energy efficiency in private sectors and influence of GHG emissions,（2）Influence of corporate profits etc. and analysis based on individual firms regarding analysis of response to firms’ policies. |

| Research Partnership for the Application of Low Carbon Technology
for Sustainable Development (ALCT) |
|
| To promote the application of Japanese low-carbon technologies in India, the IGES Kansai Research Centre launched an international joint research project with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Kyoto University. The research will involve government, research institutes and industrial sectors in both countries. It will cover a variety of aspects, including identification of promising low-carbon technologies, implementation of pilot projects to measure, monitor and demonstrate the effects of technology application, capacity building of technical experts and managers, and establishment of a cooperation framework between the public and the private sectors. The research will aim to develop an effective scheme for promoting the application of Japanese low-carbon technologies. The joint research will be implemented as a Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) project, implemented through collaboration with Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). |
