thinking and create cutting-edge economic advantages. She urged Japan to assess how an
international climate change agreement could help achieve this ambitious target, and
cautioned that a categorical "no" to the Kyoto Protocol would cause Japan to
lose out on the sizeable investments it had already made into Kyoto Protocol
infrastructure.
