    Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Summary: Japan should completely phase out coal by 2030. █ Coal-fired power generation emits more carbon dioxide (CO2) than any other method of generating electricity. In order to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) as called for under the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to quickly decarbonize our energy sources. According to several research reports, that means we need to completely phase Japan Coal Phase-Out: out coal power plants, which obviously means halting new coal plant construction and also strategically retiring existing plants. For coal-fired power generation in Japan, the country must cancel all current planning for new construction, and also retire all existing coal The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 power plants by 2030 █ There were 117 units at existing coal power plants in Japan as of April 2018, based on Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Japan Coal Phase-Out: government statistics and publicly available information, and this number includes many older and inefficient plants that have been operating over 40 years.

Introduction On November 17, 2014, the news that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Pacific Bluefin tuna (PBF) to its Red List of Threatened Species as “Vulnerable,” which meant that it was threatened with extinction, made headlines and received substantial TV coverage around Japan. After citing the IUCN’s comment that the species was extensively targeted by the fishing industry for the predominant sushi and sashimi markets in Asia, Mainichi Shimbun, one of the major newspapers in Japan, reported that the population was estimated to have declined by 19 to 33% over the past 22 years1. Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a leading Japanese economic newspaper, referring to the fact that the American eel was also added to the List as “Endangered,” pointed out that
  • Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture

    Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture

    Excerpt from the FY2013 White Paper on the Environment Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture Aichi 1 − Introduction − In 2013, Japan witnessed record heat and destructive typhoons, causing considerable damage throughout the nation. Some experts have argued that such abnormal weather phenomena can be attributed in part to global warming. Recently there has been growing health concern about fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, an air pollutant found in toxic smog. To provide its residents with detailed information on PM2.5 levels, the Aichi Prefectural Government has reinforced its air quality monitoring system, including increased monitoring locations. Now that global environmental issues have a diverse range of impacts on our everyday lives, we need to strengthen public administration as regards environmental protection from a global perspective. In November 2014, the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will be held here in Aichi Prefecture. This conference is of great significance, in that it will bring together those engaged in ESD from Japan and abroad to conduct lively discussions on this subject under the theme of “Creating a Better Future for the Planet.” The environmental awareness of the citizens of Aichi Prefecture has been enhanced through international environmental events hosted by Aichi, such as Expo 2005 Aichi Japan in 2005 and the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP 10) held in 2010. We believe that the UNESCO World Conference on ESD will provide another springboard for the people of Aichi Prefecture to further increase environmental awareness and promote pro-environmental behavior.

    Use of Mobility Scooters on Trains 168.1KB

    To passengers using mobility scooters: Make sure to read this before using JR Central lines Accessible trains and mobility scooters you can use Your mobility scooter’s size should not exceed 70cm in width and 120cm in length and height. (These are the same dimensions required for manual and other types of wheelchairs.) Mobility scooter users can board conventional line carriages that are both vestibule-free and step-free. *Limited express train carriages and some rapid or local train carriages that have vestibules or steps cannot accommodate mobility scooters. Meanwhile, you can board some carriages that are equipped with small steps. For details, inquire JR Central’s telephone information center (service is provided in Japanese)*1. The space that mobility scooter users can access on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen is limited to the multi-purpose room of Series N700 carriages. In addition to being within the dimensions mentioned above, mobility scooters that can be accommodated are only those with both of the following capabilities: (a) Capable of maneuvering right angles (i.e. Mobility scooters that meet both conditions (1) and (2)) (1) Can turn a 0.9m-wide, right angle within five adjustments (2) Can turn a 1.0m-wide, right angle without making any adjustments (b) Capable of turning 180 degrees Can turn 180 degrees within a space that’s less than 1.8m wide Your mobility scooter has these capabilities if the vehicle’s body is labeled with a sticker indicating turning capabilities (“Turning Capability ○○○”), a sticker indicating a star count (“Turning Capability ★★★”), or an “Advanced Mobility Scooter Sticker” issued by the Japan Assistive Products Evaluation Center or other institutions.
