The initial benefits to the government are (a) reduced disaster redemption cost (dam Safety, hydroelectric power scheme, sustainability for water security and renewable energy (wind energy), (b) cost effective measure for disaster management, (c) ecology service degradation (value of tropical forest). The long term benefits to the government are (a) save ecology service degredation (generating a new revenue eco-tax data), (b) ratification form International Environment Climate Change (carbon, water biodiversity and renewable energy). |
