Description

The five-year average for total GHG emission reduction during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (FY2008-FY2012) showed a 1.4% increase from the base year (1278Mt CO₂ eq.). By calculating removals gained by forest coupled with the Kyoto mechanism credits, the five-year average showed an overa ll 8.7% decrease compared to the base year. Japan has therefore been able to achieve its target for the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (−6 % below the base year level).<br>　A Report on Research of the Wide-Range Movement Situation and Cyclical Use of Wastes was used as one of the main statistics in estimating emissions of the waste sector in Japan. The report was revised for effective use in GHG inventory and for evaluating achievements concerning commitment to reduction targets ; the timing of this compilation was rather quick. It is expected that the current trends in waste statistics being used in Japan can also be applied in other Asian countries in order to expand the promotion of countermeasures for global warming and the 3R initiatives throughout the Asian region.
