Invitation for 2009 Submissions regarding Model Projects for Promotion of Sustainable Urban Renewal

The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) invites submissions regarding model projects for the promotion of sustainable urban renewal in which the projects incorporate progressive measures against global warming including aggressive CO2 reduction, evaluation of CO2 reduction, and public communication.

The current increase in public awareness of global warming, the development of the "Kyoto Protocol Target Achievement Plan," and the "Action Plan for Achieving a Low-Carbon Society" mean that all business activities must tackle global warming.

The MOE urges companies actively tackling global warming to take the opportunity of urban renewal for effective CO2 reduction.
