Future Automotive Fuel |
|
| |
|
The 21st century is known as "The Century of the Environment", with responses to various environment and energy related issues being called for. We will conduct the discussion on the initiative taken by governments and automobile manufacturers in promoting development and user acceptance for vehicles contributing to mitigate environmental, and energy related problems, such as hybrid vehicles (HVs), natural gas vehicles (NGVs), fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles (LEVs). We will also look at the current situation concerning the new automotive fuels, such as Gas to Liquid fuels (GTL) and Biomass fuels. |

Environmentally Friendly Transportation Systems |
|
| |
|
Environmentally sustainable transport needs to be realized by promoting use of public transportation and by not relying excessively on private vehicles. There is also an urgent need to solve transport related issues through the coordination of measures such as the development of Light Rail Transit (LRT), revitalization of bus systems, traffic controls for smoother transportation, and promoting the introduction of low emission vehicles. Under this theme, we will highlight national and international practices relevant to the issues above, and will discuss the appropriate directions for urban transportation systems and urban planning. |

The Future of Environment and Transportation
-Messages from the Region |
|
| |
|
In order to deal with the urgent issues related to environment and transport, various visions and strategies have been formulated in Japan. In line with these strategies and visions, specific policy instruments have also gradually been developed.
However, it has not necessarily been made clear as to how these strategies and policy instruments relate to each other, and how they have been formulated. In order to prioritize the needs of specific policy instruments and to formulate them effectively, we need to identify the linkages between the strategies and policy instruments, and clarify the processes through which they were formulated.
In this connection, we will compare case studies from the UK, the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan, to deepen our discussion regarding the linkages and formulation of strategies and policy instruments to promote sustainable transport in Japan, as well as to contribute to the realization of large-scale, integrated policies, based on the active participation of citizens, corporations, non-profit organizations (NPOs), and public organizations from their respective standpoints. |

Towards Sustainable Urban Transport
-Messages to Asia |
|
| |
|
Asia is expected to achieve significant economic growth during the 21st century. This growth will be accompanied by increased transport related services and activities resulting in significant environmental consequences. While transportation is essential to Asia's socio-economic needs, balancing these needs with the need to protect the environment should be at the heart of the concept of environmentally sustainable transport. The panel discussion will include presentations and discussions by international experts and resource persons on specific themes such as sustainable urban transport frameworks and strategies, transport demand management, environmentally friendly public transport, fiscal instruments for promoting sustainable transport, etc. intended for the government policymakers, researchers, academia, and general public. |

Regional Development with Lower Impacts of Transport
-Messages to citizens |
|
| |
|
Public concern about the transportation sector as well as interest in environmentally-friendly regional development has increased over the years, with relevant measures being actively pursued from various angles, including issues concerning motor vehicles, public transport, residential and commercial activities. On the issue of transport, which is essential for the region and can also create conflicts of interest, it is necessary for civilians themselves to discuss relevant issues and to experiment with original and innovative measures. Hence, we will explore the future direction for environment and transport from the citizens' point of view, offering concrete examples by NGOs, businesses, and government agencies. |

For a Road Transportation System in Harmony with the Environment
-Messages from industries |
|
| |
|
A transportation system in harmony with the environment is one of the building blocks of economic infrastructure. If current mobility-related trends continue, it may be difficult for a healthy environment and a vibrant economy to co-exist. However, through contributions from every part of society worldwide, this is not impossible, as summarized in the "Mobility 2030: Meeting the challenges to sustainability", a report prepared by the Sustainable Mobility Project of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). With a central focus on this message, strategies to realize a transportation system which harmonizes with the environment and contributes to social and economic development, are to be discussed. |
