Using the significant progress that has been made in LCS research and policy design it is time to craft LCS research and policy design, it is time to craft measures for implementation. 2. All stakeholders need to be made aware that short-term costs are countered by longer-term benefits 3. Inter-linkages among society’s components must be understood in the effort to devise feasible and effective understood in the effort to devise feasible and effective policy 4. Technologies and R&D alone cannot attain LCS 5. Modeling implications and limitations must be correctly understood

Major findings from Berlin Meeting ‐ 2 6. Multi-level governance in a multi-level world is necessary for promoting LCS 7. International cooperation is central to the LCS transition 8. Mobilising private sector investment in a desirable direction is a key to achieving LCS direction is a key to achieving LCS 9 Civil society participation is crucial to mobilizing 9. Civil society participation is crucial to mobilizing acceptance for LCS actions 10. ‘Science in transition’ can forge inter-linkages among issues, and more importantly, can be an agent of change Cooperation with developing countries is key - As significant worldwide reduction is essential As significant worldwide reduction is essential CO 2 emissions (carbon conversion 1 billion tons) 25 25 Others the U.S. Estimated future global CO 2 emissions 22.1% 20 20 31.8% 2004 global global 15 15 15 15 CO 2 emissions 開発途上国 7.2 billion t-C Developing countries 10 10 18.1% (26.5 billion t-CO 2 ) 4 3% 4.3% China I ndia 5 5 4.8% * 2050 先進国 12.8% 6.0% Developed countries p 50% reduction target Japan Japan 0 0 20002010202020302040205020602070208020902100 20002010202020302040205020602070208020902100 Russia EU 15 countries year Sources: Kainuma et al., 2002: Made by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan based on y y , p Climate Policy Assessment, Springer, p.64.
