Overview of The Symposium
The purpose of the symposium was to discuss how to produce synergistic eﬀects between the science of
public policy, which seeks to reorganize social systems, and engineering, which pursues technological
solutions, with the aim of accelerating the shift toward a sustainable low-carbon society.
The program consisted of two sessions. In the ﬁrst, under the topic “Social System Transformation”,
Prof. Zou Ji (China), Prof. Thierry Hommel (France), and Prof. Kazuhiro Ueda (Kyoto) gave lectures
followed by a lively discussion. The speakers stressed the emerging trend toward low-carbon technologies
and the need for this type of development, and called for studies to compare Japan’s experience in
reducing sulfur oxide emissions in the 1960s and 1970s with the current situation in nations around the
world.
In the second session, Prof. Taikan Oki (Tokyo) and Visiting Prof. Yasumoto Magara (Hokkaido) spoke
on the theme, “The Technical Challenges of Water as a Fundamental System of Human Society.” Among
other points, they discussed the severity of the water problems that exist today and warned that the
situation will only get worse as climate change leads to increasingly frequent droughts and ﬂoods. They
noted that, although the debate has tended to focus on ways of mitigating climate change, studying
ways to cope with it should also be a priority; and they emphasized the importance of governance in
maintaining water systems.

Overview of The Symposium
By Fumikazu Yoshida, Naoyuki Funamizu
Lastly, the moderators, Prof. Fumikazu Yoshida and Prof. Naoyuki Funamizu (both of Hokkaido) joined
the speakers for a panel discussion on how to produce synergies between the science of public policy
and engineering. After making the point that technology should be developed with a clear goal and
rationale in mind, lest the means become an end in itself, the panelists then addressed the true purpose
of technical solutions and suggested that it is to improve the quality of life. Turning to the globalization
of technology, they discussed whether the Japanese experience is meaningful in a broader context and
concluded that in order to pass on experience with particular technologies or mechanisms for their
diﬀusion, it is important to take the approach summarized by the term “localized technology,” which is
based on mutual comparisons and exchanges and on the measurement and assessment of local needs.
The symposium was well attended by students and researchers alike and ﬁlled the venue to the point of
standing room only. In the question-and-answer sessions after the lectures and in the panel discussion,
there was lively participation from the audience.

Concept of lock-in effects in Power Sector
Urgency: Avoiding Lock-in effects
relationship between capital investment, M&O cost, and efficiency/emission level
Technology
Index, efficiency
• Energy-intensive infrastructure sectors are
easy to be locked-in: power, heating, airconditioning, transport system, buildings……;
• The lifespan for infrastructure operation is
very long: over several decades;
• Not easy to change the emission feature of
existing infrastructure with very high replace
costs
• Rapid and massive construction of
infrastructure in developing countries, e.g., in
China, cannot wait for a slow and modest CST
flow into their economies, given the keen
anticipation to improve living standards and
alleviate poverty.

Potential of Technology Change
• The gap of general energy efficiency between
China (35%) and the OECD average (45%) is
up to 10%.
• This shows a current potential for China to
control its GHG emission by improving its
energy efficiency with more efficient
technologies available from developed
countries.
• With large share of energy use and GHG
emission, only several percentage points of
improvement in energy efficiency may lead to
significant GHG reduction.

Understanding
Climate Sound Technology:
A Whole Package for Effectiveness
2006, NO.2
CSTs’ Nature: providing for
climate benefit as global public goods
CSTs work as a whole package
CST may include:
• Climate benefits are core returns of CSTs;
• More rapid and effective development, transfer, diffusion,
and deployment of CSTs in developing countries are of
great importance to protect global climate as global
public goods;
• These global public goods are shared and enjoyed by
both developed and developing countries; and
• It may be regarded as an efficient global allocation of
technology resources to curb global warming.
• We need to find out an innovative mechanism to realize
the above global allocation of technologies efficiently and
effectively.
– Hardware: devices, equipment, process, etc.;
– Software: IPRs, designs, know-how,;
– Enabling environment: mechanism, policies,
appropriate institutional arrangement; and
infrastructure
– Human resources: awareness, well trained
and qualified; and
– Financial resources to make D&T&T happen.

Key Elements of Indicators for
Performance Assessment 1
Framework for Performance Assessment
• Speed of technology flow
• The frequency and intensity of activities in
technology needs assessment, technology
information, creating enabling environment,
capacity building, and development of
mechanism;
• the scale of investment in R&D,
innovation/demonstration, diffusion and
deployment of ESTs and the contribution
from Annex II parties;
– Considering to avoid lock-in effects in developing
countries
– Needed time for innovation (R&D) and diffusion
• Range of technology flow
– Covering most of the meaningful sectors
– Larger market share and penetration
• Effectiveness
– Emission reduction
– Affordable and least cost and expected benefits
Key Elements of Indicators for Performance
Assessment 2
•
•
•
IPR Protection and Transfer
Mechanism 1
the speed of international flows of
ESTs from developed to developing
countries;
the range of ESTs transfer in
geographical and setoral terms;
the obstacles in development and
transfer of ESTs and the degree to
which these obstacles are obviously
overcome and corresponding
measures and actions are in place.
• Although managing global externality, rather than IPR, is
the real core issue in the context of climate change,
improvement in IPR protection may contribute to faster
and more technology transfer
• IPR protection should not be an excuse to postpone
international development and transfer of ESTs;
• Compulsory licensing and different pricing for public
climate protection may be introduced, as it has been in
public health domain, on a newly developed international
legal basis; and
• Efforts to protect private IPRs should be made together
with the ones to avoid over-making monopoly profits and
to fulfill corporation social responsibility in climate
protection
IPR Protection and Transfer
Mechanism 2
Mechanism Promoting CSR and
Public Participation
• Legislating and enforcing laws and regulations are still
the mainstream measure for IPR protection;
• Improving enforcement capacity and efficiency and
lowering enforcement costs;
• Continuous efforts to improve awareness of companies
and the public on IPR protection;
• Establish awarding fund for encouraging exposure of
information on violence of IPR;
• Development of both governmental and nongovernmental organizations providing for IPR
consultancy service;
• Exploring commercial patterns of joint R&D for sharing
IPR; and
• Support by incentives based on public finance.
• Request companies provide annual report on
implementation of CSR
• Institutional arrangement for exposure of
information on environmental and D&T&T
performance of companies;
• Promote D&T&T by anti-monopoly measures
and re-arrangement of patent protection period
• Promote development of intermediary
organization providing for technological and
legal service
• Make efforts to improve public awareness for an
enabling governance based on wide public
participation

• Develop rules for technology assessment
and trade;
• Improve technology information; and
• Improve infrastructure to support
technology trade
• Establish and operate a Special
Intergovernmental Body for D&D&T of
CSTs under COP of UNFCCC;
• Develop an involvement mechanism for
owners, developers, and potential receivers
of CSTs and policy makers;
• Identify prioritized strategic areas of CSTs
by TNAs;

Climate change policies,
European and French energy policies
ABSTRACT :
Carbon free society is the ultimate goal beyond 2050. Key choices in the next 5 years will shape ability to
meet 2050 goals. From this viewpoint, a sequential approach is needed: goals for 2020 are designed to “keep
in play” the potential to achieve reasonably the 450 ppm goal by 2050. EU credibility is at stake, support
is needed for technological innovation and for avoiding lock-in of current high carbon technologies. The
EU commitment to transform Europe into a highly energy-eﬃcient, low-carbon economy meet a context
of high energy prices and increasing global competition for fossil-based energy resources. In this context,
EU propose a package, which covers Energy Transformation Systems（ETS）and non ETS sectors while
improving energy security. This politics provides predictability and visibility for
investment decisions whether an international agreement is concluded or not.
This creates incentives for other Parties to join in an international agreement on
climate change. Nevertheless, the EU perspective cannot be eﬃcient without the
implication of member states and proactive support of the citizens: the EU has
a legislative power, but states keep prerogatives and sovereignty. If objectives are
settled at EU levels, some instruments will be EU wide, while compliance will
also depend on national policies. According to national circumstances, French
policies will develop speciﬁc instruments to ensure a coordination of innovations,
the implication of all industrial sectors and the support of the civil society.

� Integration of emerging countries
� US vs EU : different visions /necessary coordination
� 4 issues : mitigation, technology, funding, adaptation

A possible breakthrough
� US & China : internal implementation needs international coordination
� A very different Post Kyoto : hybrid, more inclusive but less coverage and
fragmented
�
No exclusive options but combination : technological innovation /
coordination framework/ international regulation
� Carbon value = managed scarcity
� Market failures needs accompanying measures ( technological pull/push
capital markets failures for innovation)

Current emission dynamics - the French situation (1)
� Kyoto Protocol - First commitment period : France committed
to a 0% increase of it GHG emissions compared to 1990
� EU : 8% emissions reduction target at the global level
� EU-countries : agreed on differentiated commitments depending on
national circumstances within the so-called European « bubble »
2. Current emission dynamics –
The French situation
11
� 2005 : French GHG emissions equal to 553,4 Mt CO2-eq
(Eurostat)
� 8,73 t CO2-eq per capita (lower than EU 15 mean value – 10.82 t
CO2-eq per capita)
� Main reason : low carbon content of power generation : 80% nuclear,
12% hydro)
� French emissions were 1,9% (i.e 11 MtC02-eq) under the objective
12
Thierry Hommel – June 2008
Current emission dynamics - the French situation (2)
� C02, 1990-95 :
Current emission dynamics - the French situation (3)
� CH4 and N2O emissions have decreased respectively
by 12 Mt CO2-eq (-18%) and 22,6 Mt CO2-eq (-24%)
19,8 Mt +5%
� Industry alone : responsible for a 17,4 Mt C02-eq reduction
of N20
� Increase :
� Transportation
� Residential and tertiary energy use
21,3 Mt + 18%
9,2 Mt + 11%
� F-gases have increased by 4,1 Mt C02-eq (+40%),
because of their increasing use in cooling equipments;
their contribution to national global emission remains
low (2,5%)
� Significant reduction achieved in :
� Industry
� Energy supply
� Agriculture
� Waste management

Current emission dynamics - the French situation (5)
Energy use in buildings :
Transportation :
� Domestic air transport has been stabilized thanks to the
development of the high speed train network
� Dwellings has increased by 15% since 1990, as the occupancy
rate declined from 2,6 to 2,3 inhabitants per dwelling
� Main concern is about the road transportation :
� Mean surface of housing increased from 85 to 90 square meters
� Number of cars and the number of passenger-kilometers increased
by 25% since 1990
Parallel trends in residential and passenger road transports can be
explained by the evolution of prices : building price index
increase and domestic fuel price decrease during this period !
� Road freight increased by 15% since 1990, now accounting for 80%
of total domestic freight, including international transit
� Rail freight remains inefficient and decreased by 14% since 1990

Current emission dynamics - the French situation (6)
Current emission dynamics - the French situation (7)
� Drivers that could hamper futures efforts to reduce French
emissions or even stabilize them at their 1990 level during the
next five years: inertia of Transportation and Residential
� 1990 - 2004 : Carbon intensity of the French GDP decreased by
17% (annual decrease of 1,4%)
� 80% improvement in energy efficiency
� 14% improvement from energy substitution : energy mix partially
shifted to electricity and natural gas instead of oil
� The largest mitigation potential could be achieved in the
building sector with existing technologies and significant
benefits that would result from higher energy efficiency allow
for a low unitary cost of reduction
� 2004 - 2014 : Emissions reduction for non-C02 gases in the
industry are likely to slow downs in absolute terms : Most of the
cheap reductions have already been done, partly for non climate
reasons
� Mitigation in transportation is usually assessed as expensive
and difficult : it does not require only technological change but
also investment reallocation to low emissions modes,
infrastructure management and urban planning
� 2004 - 2012 : C02 emissions from transportation and residential
energy uses are expected to keep increasing significantly

Climate change policies, European and French energy policies
By Thierry Hommel
Reducing GHG Emissions : French policies and measures (1)
� France, 2004 : To be in observance with its Kyoto targets, adoption of the
« climate plan »
� Reinforced in comparison to the previous « National Program
against Climate change » set in 2000…
3. Reducing GHG Emissions :
� Because this Program was assessed to be insufficient…
� Significant gap between measures early announced in the program
and what has been really implemented
French policies and measures
� Emblematic countermeasure : the withdrawal of an energy tax that was
supposed to induce 40% of the emission reduction target
� Other measures or sector target were also unrealistic : doubling of the
railway freight…
� Less than 10 % of the measures initially contained in the plan have been
now implemented

Thierry Hommel – June 2008
Reducing GHG Emissions : French policies and measures (2)
Reducing GHG Emissions : French policies and measures (3)
� Without Climate plan : business-as-usual emissions are
projected to increase to 620 Mt C02-eq in 2020, i.e 10% above
the French target
� Step forward, French parliament - 2005 : a new law on the
energy strategy is adopted
� Sets national targets as a 3% year reduction of GHG emissions
� Division by 4 or 5 of national emissions in 2050
� Enumerates existing policies and measures as those included in the
2004 Climate Plan
� Confirm the role of nuclear power as the major options to avoid GHG
emissions in the French electric sector and to contribute to national
energy security
� Sets that public investments on collective transports, railways and
waterways are going to be the priority over road infrastructure.
� The « climate plan » provide additional measures and policies
intended to curb emissions under this target :
5,75% biofuel target in 2010
Larger tax credit for thermal renovation in buildings
Generalization of energy labels on energy end-use equipments
New taxes and subsidies on new cars in function of their emissions
Control of emissions due to the development of air cooling in
buildings and vehicles
� Possibility for local authorities to commit themselves in the
elaboration of local climates plans

� 2007 : « Domestic project », Joint Implementation mechanism
from the French Government
� Electric sector
� Energy intensive industries
� The biggest heat producers
� Government will periodically announce a call for emission reduction
projects for sectors not covered by EU ETS (Emission trading
system) and for non C02-GHG
� First three-year period is overlocated, but this new instrument
has led major corporate players involved to get used to
continuously monitor their emissions and to trade quotas, and
raised new expertise to supply assistance and advice on the
carbon market
� Company or communities may propose reduction projects and prove
their additionality. For each approved project, a French agency
entitled to manage financial transactions, real estate and carbon
trading for the government, will buy all the corresponding credits, and
manage subsequent exchanges on the international carbon market.
� A new National Allocation Plan was recently published for the
Kyoto commitment period 2008-2012
23
� This policy tool is expected to foster reductions from 10 to 15 MtC02eq over 5 years, i.e. around 0,5% of current French emissions

negotiations about a new round of environmental policies to respond to
ecological emergencies. This was named « Grenelle of Environment »,
in reference to the Grenelle Agreements, a successful negotiation
between labour unions and employers in 1968 ;

Thierry Hommel – June 2008
Two main errors:
� Grenelle of Environment, climate change and energy group
outcomes :
� October : Short phase of diffusion and consultation of experts ad various
national council and citizens
� Renovation plan for existing building, aimed at reducing energy
consumption by 12% (resp 20%) in tertiary (resp residential) building in
5 years
� For new building, a breakthrough toward 30% zero energy buildings in
5 years and 100% in 2020
� An increase the share of rail and water freight from 14% to 25% of
the total domestic freight in 15 years
� No new road infrastructures, exept projects already in the pipe, and
systematic priority of investment in railways and waterways
� Progressively decreasing standards for a new cars, e.g 120g of
C02/km in 2012 (EU decision)
� A general fiscal reform in favour of ecotaxes with a constant budget
recycling
� Increase the share of renewables in final energy from 9% to 20% in
2012 (EU decision)
Everything changes : Technological fix up? For the next 30 years we can
anticipate
Nothing changes : Technological innovations in a changing world innovations.
�
Limits on emissions will change context
On one hand : more electricity means a more concentrated production for mass
technology (nuclear or coal or gas plus sequestration)
On the other hand : more renewables + hydrogen more decentralized production
New electricity economy more complex : energy mix and network management
Different technology different behaviors

� Grenelle of Environment : new expectations of the civil
society:
� A lot of observers and even some NGOs that had attended to the
« grenelle agreement » were surprised by an apparent higher level
of political will from policymakers
4.Long run scenarios toward
low-carbon society, French target
� This process has raised large expectations from the parties involved
and the wider society
� It is now in the hands of central administration (for operational
implementation) and the parliament (for new law projects), two steps
that are like to modify the content and the ambition of final measures!
31
32
Thierry Hommel – June 2008
Long run scenarios toward low-carbon society, French target (2)
Long run scenarios toward low-carbon society, French target (1)
� Long Run : the target for 2050 may seem identically
approximate
� French target : reach a division by 4 in 2050, included as a
national objective in the French energy law in 2005 but …
� Very vague in its formulation, for example about the reference level
� March 2007 : the so called « 3 X 20 » target, Council of Europe :
� Starting point : the + 2�C temperature ceiling (compared to
the mean pre-industrial level) adopted by the European Union
� a voluntary commitment to reduce emissions by 20% in 2020 compared
to the 1990 level
� With 20% renewables in the primary energy mix
� 20% energy efficiency
� This maximum temperature increase is consistent with a
stabilization of GHG concentration around 450ppm C02-eq,
which requires cutting emissions at least by 50% in 2050
compared to emission in 2000 (IPCC, 2007)
� …the same objectives were adopted in the ‘Grenelle agreement’
final report
� There are still many things blurred about a precise definition of the
targets in 2020 and 2050. As for 2020, the 20% reduction is indeed a
global European target
� Factor 4 has been flagged for its simplicity, as a mobilizing
utopia.Such a long run target does not pretend to be a precise
commitment : it is supposed to help stabilizing expectations
about the shared ambition of stabilizing GES concentration
� But will this global commitment be translate in differentiated
commitments depending on national circumstances ?

Long run scenarios toward low-carbon society, French target (3)
Long run scenarios toward low-carbon society, French target (4)
� To date, no macroeconomic simulations have been done on the
feasibility and the cost of a ‘factor 4’ scenario in France because
of the lack of ready to use energy-economy model in France
� All those reports do not provide a clear picture of what is the more
efficient trajectory to divide French emissions by 3 , 4 or 5.
But they bring some robust findings :
� MIES uses a mee energy accounting approach to build 8
alternatives systems that could satisfy the factor 4 target in 2050
� A huge renovation plan must be achieved in all type of building
� The transportation sector will need both large infrastructure reorientation and
technological innovation to reduce emissions for identical mobility services
� OE-DGEMP describes a world scenario built from the MEDEE
energy demand model
� In scenarios that maintain a strong nuclear generation capacity, a strong
development of renewables including biomass is needed to cover the final
energy demand.
� Scenario based on a global 450 ppm C02 target, with a division by 4
of OECD emissions (division by 3 for France)
� It concludes that the target is feasible with existing or upcoming
technologies !
� The simulation shows a carbon price above 500 euros per ton of
C02 even with all optimistic assumptions
35
� Alternatively, a phasing out of the nuclear capacity imposes that a
significant share of primary energy needs would be covered by fossil energy,
thus requiring a massive and early development of Carbon Capture and
storage in industry and in the electric sector.

Environmental Governance and Economics for Sustainable Low
Carbon Society in East Asia
ABSTRACT :
It will not be possible to arrest climate change without qualitative change in economies.
We must tackle the prevention of climate change not as a defensive reaction but as a form of “environmental
economic strategy.” When we frame the issue in this way, we should be able to see the way forward to
the achievement of our goals. Among the environmental policy tools available are an emissions-trading
system and a carbon tax (environment tax). Arranged in some suitable combination, such tools can
serve usefully in tapping the creativity of businesses and communities and providing clear signals of the
direction in which to proceed.

Water, Sustainable Development, and Climate Change
ABSTRACT :
Water is a naturally circulating resource that is constantly recharged. Therefore, even though the stocks
of water in natural and artiﬁcial reservoirs are helpful to increase the available water resources for human
society, the ﬂow of water should be the main focus in water resources assessments. The climate system puts
an upper limit on the circulation rate of available renewable freshwater resources (RFWR).
Although current global withdrawals are well below the upper limit, more than two billion people live
in highly water-stressed areas because of the uneven distribution of RFWR
in time and space. Climate change is expected to accelerate water cycles and
thereby increase the available RFWR globally. This would slow down the
increase of people living under water stress; however, changes in seasonal
patterns, enhancement of uneven distribution of regional RFWR, and
increasing probability of extreme events may oﬀset this eﬀect. Implementing
adaptation measures and reducing current vulnerability will be the ﬁrst step
to prepare for such anticipated changes.

Impacts of climate change on freshwater fesources
� In the course of the century, water supplies stored in glaciers
and snow cover are projected to decline, reducing water
availability in regions supplied by melt water from major
mountain ranges, where more than one-sixth of the world
population currently lives.
� By mid-century, annual average river runoff and water
availability are projected to increase by 10-40% at high
latitudes and in some wet tropical areas, and decrease by 10-30%
over some dry regions at mid-latitudes and in the dry tropics,
some of which are presently water-stressed areas.
� Drought-affected areas will likely increase in extent. Heavy
precipitation events, which are very likely to increase in
frequency, will augment flood risk.

Wise use of Water
ABSTRACT :
Water is used for various kinds of purposes: in daily life, agriculture, industry, and ﬁshery. Water is
supplied from the ocean to the atmosphere through evaporation and comes back to the ground surface
as rainfall. It supports various kinds of human activities as well as nature and the global ecosystem.
While water ﬂows over the ground surface and becomes available as a resource in rivers, lakes/marshes,
underground water, and coastal water, it contains inorganic substances from the soil, and organic substances
and microorganisms generated by living organisms and human activities.
Impurities which exist in water include not only essential substances necessary for supporting the life of
living creatures, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and iron, but also hazardous substances, such as arsenic and
mercury, which are not just unnecessary for living creatures, but also cause health problems. Water also
contains parasites, infectious microorganisms, and chemical substances such as agricultural chemicals,
which may cause health problems to humans or other living creatures. It can also contain other substances
which do not cause any hazard to humans or living creatures, but disturbs proper use of water, such as silt
and sand which make water turbid. It is therefore necessary to consider the wise use of water according
to the purpose of consumption.

•Rainwater captures pollutants during precipitation ,
flowing processes on ground surface.
•Groundwater is the most appropriate for water source,
since the pollutants are reduced by the soil, unless
some hazardous substances exist in the soil and
elude into the water.
•Most of the freshwater resources cannot be used
without treatment, or much worse,
•Most of them may even cause various health
damages including infectious diseases.
