Based on this recognition, "The New Earth 21" program was proposed by the Japanese government in 1990, with the aim of solving problems through the development of new technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and technology transfers.<BR>　The concept cosists of the following five items:<BR> <UL> <LI>Promoting energy conservation</LI> <LI>Use of clean energy</LI> <LI>Developing innovative environmental technologies</LI> <LI>Enhancing CO2 sinks</LI> <LI>Developing innovative next-generation energy technologies</LI> </UL> <BR> <UL> <LI>In this research project, we have made quantitatively the best possible integrated analysis and assessment including energy, environment, economy, and various other aspects from a long-term and global point of view, which is extremely important in solving global warming problems. <LI>The project is aimed at drawing up CO2 reduction scenarios to be promoted at the international level, and thus providing useful information for specific plans in implementing the "New Earth 21" program. </UL> </P> </BODY>
