Environment: Asia – Symposium on harmony with nature

Since the 1980s, the rapid economic development and population growth, energy consumption growth in Asia is remarkable, and far surpasses the rest of the world. Currently, Asia is a region of the world's largest energy consumer, with the exception of a few Japanese and Korean, Asian countries are characterized by very high dependence on coal. With the increase in energy consumption, emissions of air pollutants has increased, particularly sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in is already much higher than the U.S. and Europe.

In addition to population growth, intense concentration of population in urban areas, with the increase of urban population in Asia has become an important issue to improve the urban environment. In many major cities, air pollutants such as particulates suspended solids (TSP) have significantly higher concentrations of the World Health Organization (WHO) in situations that are much higher than the standards set out in particular China, India has become a serious air pollution in metropolitan cities with a focus on Indonesia. In addition, the lagging adoption of safe water and sanitation urban dwellers, and has increased the amount of waste and generation. That you dispose of any waste increases, but we become a thorny issue for Asian countries including Japan, developing countries in Asia, dump the public most of the waste The reality is that the stacked field.

Global warming will affect Asia in various forms as well. Asia Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions are 36.1 percent of the world we share. Japan, China and India in particular more CO2 emissions, China and India are the world's largest CO2 in the near future is certain to be a country emissions. Global warming unless appropriate measures are taken in Asian countries combat global warming on a global scale is no exaggeration to say there is no effective progress.
