energy requires adjustment. The objective should be to have it account for half of
total energy by 2050.
The two most important issues that the Paris Agreement highlights are (1)
energy-saving and (2) renewable energy. The part of Vision 2050 related to CO 2 is
becoming something of which everyone in the world is aware. While there is no
shortage of events that could not be predicted back in 1995, I believe it’s safe to say
that the three guidelines for action that provide its basic structure – “saturation of
man-made objects and the circulating society,” “energy efficiency,” and “renewable
energy” – in the not-so-distant future will start to receive recognition around the
world.
