  • Second Opinion
    Second Opinion Kanagawa Prefecture September 24, 2020 Kanagawa Prefecture Green Bond Framework ESG Dept., Credit Rating Planning and Research Office Chief Analyst: Takeshi Usami Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has confirmed the alignment of the Kanagawa Prefecture Green Bond Framework of Kanagawa Prefecture dated September 24, 2020 with the “Green Bond Principles 2018" and the Ministry of the Environment's “Green Bond Guidelines 2020." This opinion is based on the following views. Overview of the Opinion (1) Use of Proceeds Proceeds will be allocated to finance new projects related to rivers, coasts, and erosion control under the “Kanagawa Prefecture Flood Disaster Prevention Strategy.” The Kanagawa prefectural government assessed the impact of climate change to conclude that it would have unavoidable impact even with the maximum level of mitigation for greenhouse gas emissions. In order to adapt to such climate change, it formulated a regional climate change adaptation plan (the Kanagawa Prefecture Global Warming Prevention Plan) and positions the Flood Disaster Prevention Strategy as a concrete adaptation measure to flood disasters. R&I has confirmed that the eligible projects cover rivers, coasts, and mountainous districts and that their measures are applicable to flood disasters caused by climate change. In addition, we have confirmed how the environmental and social implications of the project will be dealt with. The eligible projects fall under the category of the Green Bond Principles, ‘climate change adaptation.’ (2) Process for Project Evaluation and Selection With the “Kanagawa Climate Emergency Declaration” as its policy for dealing with climate change, it identifies disasters caused by climate change that need to be dealt with under the “Kanagawa Prefecture Global Warming Prevention Plan” and formulates specific measures in the “Kanagawa Prefecture Flood Disaster Prevention Strategy.” The eligible projects are included in the Flood Disaster Prevention Strategy.

  • The Yamanashi Grapevine
    The Yamanashi Grapevine July 2003 Editor’s note Before summer’s heat saps all our energy, we went to visit two cities in Yamanashi. The first, Fujiyoshida, is probably the most famous place in Yamanashi as it is the point from where most Mount Fuji climbers start their long journey to the top. The second, Nirasaki, may not be as well renowned, but it might be known to some football (or should I say “soccer”?!) fans as the home of the high school where current Parma player Hidetoshi Nakata’s talent was discovered. On page 8, Geoff Wigan, an Assistant Language Teacher on the Table of Contents JET programme, takes us on a philosophical journey through his first year in p.2 Nirasaki City Yamanashi. p.4 Fujiyoshida City This edition holds a special meaning to me as it marks my last contribution to the P.6 News Spotlight Grapevine.

COVID-19 is the new respiratory disease spreading around the world and it is caused by a coronavirus. COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) often referred to as COVID-19 or more simply, the coronavirus is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) that was newley identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Since the first cases were reported, the outbreak has rapidly spread through China and many locations worldwide. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illness in both humans and animals. The illnesses brought about from the coronavirus have ranged from the common cold (ex. Respiratory syndrome, fever, cough, etc.) to more severe sicknesses such as pneumonia and severe acute respiratory syndrome . PLEASE NOTE: The virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different. SARS was more deadly but much less infectious than COVID-19, the SARS that may be caused by the coronavirus is a different strain of this so please keep this in mind. As of April 06, 2020 there have been over 1,270,000 in at least 180 countries and territories with the highest numbers being in America, Italy, Spain, China and Germany in that order.

This road was the only road between Shonai and the inland area. It was a precipitous mountain road from Tsuruoka city to Yamagata city passing over Matsune, Juo-toge, Oami, Sainokami-toge, Tamugimata and Oguki-toge, then going through Shizu, Hondoji and Sagae. It is said to have existed already in ancient times, but it is not clear when this road was opened. The oldest theory says that this road was opened as a governmental road connecting the Dewa Kokufu government which was located in Fujishima town (now Tsuruoka city) and the county offices of the Mogami and Okitama areas. But there are many other theories as well.
