日本版グリーン革命の構築

日本版綠色革命之構築（The Construction of Japanese Green Revolution）

日本的產業發展，從戰後主要包括煙囪工業的造船和鋼鐵業等「重厚長大」產業，1980年代起變遷為家電等的「輕薄短小」產業，現在迎接著重視環境的「輕薄炭省」新時代。雖然日本擁有先進的環境與能源技術，是否能藉此獲得戰略性的世界標準呢？況且，獲得世界標準並不代表就能取得世界市場。結論是，綠色革命意味著20世紀形式文明的停頓和以石油為中心的經濟發展之界限。日本的環境與能源技術是日本和全世界共同資產。經濟發展和環境污染絕對不是二選一的取捨關係。如果日本能夠證明從保護環境中獲得利益的話，發展中國家將會快速地追趕。

In the 1980s, postwar Japanese industries comprised of mainly smokestack industries, such as shipbuilding, iron and steel industries, were replaced by 'light-thin-short-small' industries, such as consumer electronics. Now, Japanese industries have entered a new 'light-thin and CO2-saving' era in which protection of the environment is prioritized. Having more advanced environmental and energy technologies, can Japan take this advantage to meet the requirements of strategic global standards and further dominate the market ? The conclusion is: the green revolution implies a standstill of civilizations of the 20th century as well as the limits in the oil-centered economic development. Japan's environmental and energy technologies are common assets of all nations around the world. Economic development and environmental pollution are undoubtedly not in an 'either-or' trade-off relation. If Japan can prove that profits can be created from environmental protection, developing countries will quickly catch up.
