On 21 November 2008, in Yokohama, Japan, the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES - Hayama, Kanagawa; Chair - Hironori Hamanaka) will co-organise a symposium entitled gPartnership between Japan and India Towards a Low Carbon Economy - Business Opportunities in India: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy -h, in collaboration with the Energy Resources Institute (TERI), New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).
Cooperation between India, with its remarkable economic development, and Japan, which has a large accumulation of state-of-the-art technologies, would mean the development of a business model in the transition to a low carbon economy. This is vital for the realisation of a sustainable society not just in Asia but across the world.
Focusing on energy conservation and on renewable energy sectors whose markets are expected to expand in the future, the symposium will show the possibilities of Japan-India cooperation towards a low carbon economy and point out associated business opportunities to the Japanese industries, from various perspectives such as policies, technologies and finance.
The speakers from India include Mr Jairam Ramesh, Minister of State for Power and Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, IPCC Chair (President of TERI). The symposium aims to inform the audience of the latest policies and market trends in India such as the National Action Plan on Climate Change which was launched this June, as well as to introduce notable business strategies of Japanese and Indian businesses in the two fields.
