Nation looks to tackle pollution
Japan will promote new aid programs to help developing countries take steps that not only cut greenhouse gas emissions but also address development issues such as pollution and poverty, government officials said June 4.
Tokyo will have to convince developing countries, which are generally reluctant to fight global warming over worries that curbing their greenhouse gas emissions could adversely affect their economic development, that the potential benefits of such measures outweigh the possible detriments.
