Description

Japan successfully completed its national GHG reduction target under the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. With July 2015 being the next step of national climate action, Japan has announced its latest national GHG reduction target to be met by the year 2030 for Japan’s INDC (Intended Nationally Determined Contributions). Under the Paris Agreement of 2015 at the COP21, it will be necessary not only to promote mitigation action for GHG reduction, but also to implement the adaptation action based on national planning. Considering these new international requirements against climate change, necessary mitigation and adaptation in waste management activities will need to be developed. Especially, adaptation in developing countries needs more priority for their sustainable development. In Japan, the development of more activities taking up effective mitigation and adaptation strategies related to waste management are greatly anticipated, and these will be based on the country’s prior experiences and existing low-carbon technologies in waste management.
