Sustainable development under ambitious medium term target of reducing greenhouse gases

The Concept of Sustainable Development in Enforcement of Environmental Law: Comparison of Indonesia with Finland and Japan

“…The Japanese government submitted a medium-term target to the secretariat office of the Framework Convention on Climate Change that Japan will reduce 25% of greenhouse gases compared to 1990 emissions.

Prospective on Policies and Measures for Realizing a Secure, Economical and Low-Carbon Energy System——Taking the Effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake into Consideration

“…We developed a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for Japan, on the basis of Ichioka's analysis [1,2]. We used this model to evaluate the effects of various scenarios on the national economy.…”

“…The utility of consuming these 19 types of goods and services is expressed by using the Cobb-Douglas function given in Equation (1). The present utility, consisting of the present consumption and leisure, is expressed by a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function given in Equation (2). Finally, the utility integrating the present and future consumption is expressed by another CES function given in Equation (3).…”

“…Unless we are unable to deploy the energy-saving technologies listed in (1), (2) and (3) in Chapter 3, the prices of all consumer goods centered on electricity escalate in 2020. This escalation is a consequence of deploying enough solar power generation systems to produce nearly 300 GW of electricity by means of a feed-intariff.…”
