摘要：This paper examines how we can tackle global climate change problems. There are two
main approaches, one is based on government regulations and the other is based on innovations
by the private sector. The G8 Summit and the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change (COP) regularly discuss the regulatory approach. This paper,
however, discusses the importance of the entrepreneurial approach.
On July 8-10, 2009, the 35th G8 Summit held in LʼAquila, Italy, agreed to an 80%
reduction of greenhouse gas in advanced countries by 2050. This “advanced nations 80%
reduction plan” is closely connected with the “global 50% cut concept” called the “Cool Earth
50” Plan.
