Title: Japans Challenge Toward the Goal of Kyoto Protocol and beyond

Title Japans Challenge Toward the Goal of
Kyoto Protocol and beyond-

• Moto Kanokogi

2
Kyoto Protocol 1

• The United Nations Framework Convention on
  Climate Change (UNFCCC) made the first
  international legally bound treaty on climate
  change.
• Entered into force February 16, 2005.
• However, non-participating countries, such as US,
  Australia, China, others

Kyoto Protocol 2 -target-

• Industrialized countries will reduce collective
  emissions of greenhouse gases, an average over
  the five-year period of 2008-12. by 5.2 compared
  to the year 1990.
• Six greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane,
  nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and
  PFCs
• National targets range 6 for Japan
• 8 reductions for the European Union, 7 for the
  US, 0 for Russia
• Permitted increases of 8 for Australia and 10
  for Iceland."

Kyoto Protocol 3 -progress -

• Developed countries, taken as a group, have
  achieved sizable emission reductions.
• Compared to the 1990 levels, overall greenhouse
  gas (GHG) emissions were down 5.9 in 2003.

Major Sources of the Emission

The Key Measures for the Achievement of the
Commitment

• Changes of Everybodys Life Style toward the
  reduction!
• Publication Environment Tax
• Innovation of Technologies in every facet!
• Dramatic Shift to Nuclear Power Generation!
• on condition of all necessary solutions
• Buy or Get Emission Right, using Kyoto Mechanism
  which offers three menues!

Changes of Everybodys Life Style!

• Effective System for Motivating Everybody toward
  emission reduction is Indispensable
• Environment Tax be effective!
• Rate \650/CO2 ton
• Tax Revenue \490 Bill
• 4 Reduction Expected

10
Technological Innovation Ex.-Hybrid Car Engine-

• Carbon Dioxide Emission (g/km)
• Hybrid Engine Car (Prius) 66
• Gasoline Engine Cars 105269
• use gasoline (petrol) and electric batteries for
  the energy used to power internal-combustion
  engines (ICEs) and electric motors

Scenes refresh recognition
Hiroshima

• Chernobyl

Three mile island

If, Buy Emission Right

• 40 ER/CO2 ton
• Amount of purchase 200 mill ton/yr
• Budget 8,000 ER mill/yr
• About 1.3 trillion yen

Various moves these days 1

• President Bush on the June 22nd 2005 encouraged
  the construction of new sites, arguing that
  nuclear power help tackle emissions tied to
  global warming.
• A commercial nuclear power plant was put in
  operation in Japan, 54 plants in operation.
• French president Chirac expressed the start of
  the work to develop so called 4th generation
  reactor to be commercialized after 2030. A long
  term project!

18
Various moves these days 2

• The United Nations Climate Change Conference
  (Montreal, 10 December 2005)
• Agrees on future critical steps to tackle climate
  change
• with the adoption of more than forty decisions
  that will strengthen global efforts to fight
  climate change.

19
Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and
Climate

• An agreement between six Asia-Pacific nations
  Australia, the People's Republic of China, India,
  Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
• It was introduced at the Association of Southeast
  Asian Nations (ASEAN), regional forum on July 28,
  2005. The inaugural ministerial meeting of the
  partnership will be held in Sydney in January
  2006

20
Conclusion

• Japans proceeding to achieve the commitment in
  the Kyoto Protocol is in progress, but behind
  schedule.
• Various activities are on going, nationally and
  internationally as well, aiming at broad range of
  targets, some in short and some in long terms as
  well.
• For a global solution, a framework beyond Kyoto
  needs to be built.
