・CO2 emissions and per capita emissions are large at present for developed countries.
・CO2 emissions in developing countries are projected to increase with the population
and the economic growths.
Global Warming Mitigation
《Point》
We have various
mitigation options to
reduce CO2 emissions.
A cost-effective
combination of the
options is required.
Global Warming Mitigation Scenario
《Point》 Economic consideration is important to
select a combination of the options.
