Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change
Blog Action Day 2009 We welcome the new Japanese Government’s commitment to a 25% reduction target by 2020, as part of a comprehensive deal at the COP15 meeting in December in Copenhagen. It continues to be controversial here in some parts of Japanese business.
Peter Mandelson, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, visited Tokyo last week, and sent a powerful message to Japanese industry that there isn’t going to be a high-carbon future; and that the “first movers” in such an environment will have the business advantage. My sense is that that message is beginning to get across. But we are working hard to reinforce it in our own contacts.
