The management committee, established by the steering committee, determines a more detailed plan and carries it out. It outlines a vision for a modern, competitive and climate neutral economy by 2050.

The Agreement invites countries to present long-term greenhouse gas development strategies by 2020 and the European Commission has proposed an EU strategy on November 28, 2018. Main Activities It offers an opportunity to reduce emissions through transformation of economies while boosting development of businesses and creating new jobs. The Climate Action Tracker estimates that overall GHG emissions in 2020 will be 6‑11% lower than 2019. Panelists:• Mr. Daisaku Honda, Vice President, Veolia Janets K.K. Japan’s experience serves as a reminder, where one is needed, that climate change is not a fiction. There is a pervasive belief amongst Japanese leaders and decision-makers that climate change will not have a big impact on Japan in the future. Such a National Center was duly established in July 1999, in the form of the Japan Center for Climate Change Actions (JCCCA). When the Kyoto Protocol, the first international agreement which committed to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, was adopted, Japan was certainly at the forefront of global climate action. The Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 provides a global framework for transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies. In July of 2018, a devastating downpour in western Japan forced 2 million people to evacuate their homes. The EU-Japan Centre would like to invite you to join us at our virtual Lean Café.
