Energy Resources - Japan aims to cut emissions
UPI - Japan's basic climate bill approved by the Cabinet is facing opposition from the industrial sector. The bill incorporates reductions first pledged by Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama during his address to the United Nations last September when he said Japan would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels by 2020.
However, the 25 percent reduction aim is based on the precondition that all major greenhouse gas-emitting nations will agree on a fair and effective international framework and ambitious goals.
