City’s role to address climate change

22

City’s role discussed in global conference

Acknowledge actions by Non-State Actors, such as cities and local governments“Welcomes the efforts of non-Party stakeholders to scale up their climate actions, and encourages the registration of those actions in the Non-State Actor Zone for Climate Action platform” (118, Paris Agreement IV “Enhanced Action prior to 2020”)

Facilitate further collaboration between national and local governments“Encourages Parties to work closely with non-Party stakeholders to catalyze efforts to strengthen mitigation and adaptation action” (119, Paris Agreement, ibid.)

At event on Lima-Paris Action Agenda (LPAA), ministers, governors and mayors discussed on roles of cities and local govt. tackling against climate change.

COP21 (Nov. – Dec. 2015)

From 30 November to 11 December 2015, governments will convene in Paris for the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to agree on a new global climate change agreement. COP21 Paris Agreement mentions the growing importance of cities to tackle against climate change, and enhance momentum for implementation

City’s role discussed in global conference

Reaffirmed growing importance of the role of cities, in promoting climate change mitigation measures and environment protection measures incl. adaptation.

Unanimously agreed to further facilitate advanced actions taken by local governments, fully coordinating with actions taken by central governments.

G7 Toyama EMM (May 2016)

The G7 Toyama Environment Ministers’ Meeting was held in Toyama City, Toyama on May 15-16.In addition to In the Ministers' Meeting, the G7 Toyama Environment Ministers’ Meeting Parallel Session on ‘The Role of Cities’ was held, where global warming countermeasures and environmental protection policies were discussed while sharing actual progressive cases

City to City Collaboration Program

6

Creating low carbon project efficiently and effectively Designing the local systems to promote low carbon society

Ex) low carbon action plan and technology evaluation criteria etc. Capacity building for local staffs

Program outline

Main Outcome

-Basic concept is transferring the knowledge and experience of Japanese cities for creating low carbon society to foreign cities which have the mutual relationship.-Private companies formulate the consortiums with Japanese cities and support foreign cities to create low carbon cities. Ex) Support to design city masterplan and install low carbon technology etc.

Outline of city to city collaboration program

Joint Crediting Mechanism(JCM)

12

Facilitating diffusion of leading low carbon technologies through contributions from Japan and evaluating realized GHG emission reductions or removals in a quantitative manner to use them for achieving Japan’s emission reduction target.Japan will address the high initial cost barrier of introducing advanced low-carbon

technologies in the partner countries through JCM

Contributions from Japan

The second component of Japan’s new set of contribution is innovation. The key to acting against climate change without sacrificing economic growth is the development of innovative technologies. To illustrate, there are technologies to produce, store and transport hydrogen towards realizing CO2–free societies, and a next-generation battery to enable an electric car to run 5 times longer than the current level. By next spring Japan will formulate the “Energy and Environment Innovation Strategy.” Prospective focused areas will be identified and research and development on them will be strengthened. (snip)

In addition, many of the advanced low-carbon technologies do not generally promise investment-return to developing countries. Japan will, while lowering burdens of those countries, promote diffusion of advanced low carbon technologies particularly through implementation of the JCM.
