3 areas eyed for cuts in CO2
At a key meeting in Africa next week, Japan will propose classifying industries and other activities into three sectors as part of international standards on reducing greenhouse gases, sources said.
As its first priority, Tokyo will propose setting a reduction target in one of the three sectors, which covers industries that spew out greenhouse gases. These include the steel and cement industries, the sources said.
The government will propose the adoption of so-called sectoral approaches in working-level talks under United Nations auspices that will be held in Ghana from Aug. 21. The meeting will discuss an international framework for greenhouse gas reductions following the 2012 expiry of the Kyoto Protocol, they said.
Under the program, each developed country would be required to set its own overall reduction target by totaling emission amounts that could be reduced in all of the three sectors. Developing countries, including emerging economies like China and India, would also be asked to work to reduce emissions in each of the three sectors. This would be done in cooperation with developed countries.
