The effects of global warming are expected to become clearly
tangible over the next hundred years, but experts are divided
on the issue of when countermeasures to this long-term problem
should be introduced. On the 9th September, the Institute for
Global Environmental Strategies, together with the National
Institute for Environmental Studies, held an open symposium
at the Fukoku Seimei Building to discuss the near-term actions
that can be taken as part of long-term efforts to stabilise
greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. As well as
presentations by experts from Japan, the USA, Europe and Indonesia,
there was a panel discussion to enhance understanding of the
theme, allowing plenty of time for questions and answers.

Background:
The symposium offered the audience to submit written questions
to thespeakers. Those questions were supposed to be taken up
during the panel discussion, but some of the questions were left
unanswered due to time limitation.
The organizers of the symposium would like to thank Mr. Nigel
Purvis for his kindness to answer all the questions destined
to him after the symposium.
