  • 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.
