International Emission Trading (IET)

Written By Naoko Otsuka, Ecological Artist

International Emission Trading (IET) was initiated in The Kyoto Protocol (1997) and introduced one such international approach to reducing CO2 emissions.

"Emissions trading is a market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing the emissions of pollutants."

However, wealthier countries and more giant corporations dominate the IET market, so they purchase large amounts of credits instead of reducing their emissions. This could lead to inequalities and hinder actual emissions reductions.

If we say this system in ordinary people's language, its concept is like letting pollutants or house garbage into our neighborhood's yard in exchange for small rewards. Trashes are still there, and the volume of contaminants is not reduced.

Environmental conservation efforts of Naoko Art begin with the actions we can do as individuals and households. We aim to effect a gradual and consistent transformation in the ecosystem by planting numerous seeds of this nature.

As an ecological artist, Naoko Otsuka wishes to inspire children and young adults worldwide to learn about the current situation of the ocean ecosystem through artwork that communicates clearly.

The mission of Naoko-Art is to educate the public about the reality of the marine environment by utilizing a high volume of visual resources. For people of all ages, visually input memory is proven in neuroscience that messages are swifter and stay longer than written language.
