2.3 The Japanese policy framework to promote
global warming measures
|
| In Japan, related councils' joint conference
reports on global warming issues, which indicate
the basic plans for global warming measures,
were compiled in November 1997, toward COP3.
Based on the results of COP conducted in
the following month, December, the Headquarters
to Promote Global Warming Measures, headed
by the Prime Minister, was established in
the Cabinet. In June 1998, the Headquarters
established the General Principles to Promote
Global Warming Measures, which comprehensively
compiled measures to prevent global warming
to be urgently taken toward 2010, and the
Government is promoting global warming measures
in various policy fields to achieve the target
of reducing GHG emissions by 6% in Japan,
by following the General Principles. In this
way, the General Principles comprise the
basis of the future measures in Japan, and
the system of the policy based on the General
Principles is shown below. The Headquarters to Promote Global Warming Measures also inspects the state of progress of specific global warming measures, and reviews the content, as needed, to steadily carry out the General Principles. |
