  • Chapter 8. Creating and Preserving a Beautiful and Healthy Environment
    Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures Creating and Preserving a Beautiful Chapter 8 and Healthy Environment Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures 1 Implementing Global Warming Countermeasures At the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted as a new international framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions be- ginning in 2020, with participation by all countries. The agreement went into effect in November 2016, and Japan is a signatory nation. Based on the Paris Agreement, Japan adopted the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures by a Cabinet decision in May 2016, and has committed to efforts toward the achievement of the mid-term objective to achieve a 26.0% decrease in the FY2013 level of greenhouse gases by FY2030, and as a long-term objective aims to reduce emissions 80% by 2050. The MLIT has committed to a wide array of policy development initiatives for achieving the mid-term objective based on this plan, including making housing and buildings more energy efficient, measures for individual vehicles, and the promotion of low-carbon urban development. In addition, we partially amended our Environmental Action Plan in March 2017, and set out long-term roles for the MLIT in mitigation policies and other environmental policies. II In addition, we are working toward the promotion of adaptation measures based on the Climate Change Adaptation Plan devised in 2015 to counter the effects of climate change. Chapter 8 Figure II-8-1-1 Examples of MLIT Efforts in the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures Japanese government’s overall CO2, etc., Examples of MLIT Efforts in the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures emissions reduction targets for FY2030 *These are only a portion of the efforts the MLIT is making in each sector.

    Transport Committee Oral evidence: Impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the coach sector, HC 1284 Wednesday 24 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 24 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Huw Merriman (Chair); Lilian Greenwood; Simon Jupp; Karl McCartney; Grahame Morris; Gavin Newlands; Greg Smith. Questions 39–73 Witnesses II: Baroness Vere of Norbiton, Minister for Roads, Department for Transport; and Nigel Huddleston MP, Minister for Tourism, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Baroness Vere and Nigel Huddleston MP. Q39 Chair: We move to our second session. We are very fortunate indeed to have two Ministers with us. I will ask them to introduce themselves. Baroness Vere: Good morning, everybody. I am Baroness Vere, the Minister for roads, buses and places. Of course, I look after coaches as well. Nigel Huddleston: I am Nigel Huddleston, the Minister for Sport and Tourism. Q40 Chair: Good morning to you both. I particularly thank you, Minister Huddleston. I recognise that you are in a different Department from this Select Committee, but we are very grateful indeed that the two of you are able to give us evidence today. I know that you both heard the evidence that came beforehand. It was very compelling. I talked of the 42,000 employees who worked for the coach sector. Of course, 8,000 of those 42,000 have sadly lost their jobs. I want to open by asking you if that was a sad inevitability of the pandemic, or whether there were steps that perhaps could have been taken to better support the coach sector, not just from Government but from local transport authorities.
