Mr. Koizumi gave a speech at the COP25 Ministerial Meeting on the 11th before 7:00 pm Japan Time.

In this, Minister Koizumi stated that greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced for the fifth consecutive year, and that local governments have announced a series of goals to achieve zero emissions by 2050. Introducing and reporting, “We are making steady progress in decarbonization with results”.

However, as for the use of coal-fired power generation, which has been increasingly criticized internationally, “I know that Japan is being criticized internationally. However, I would like to share a new policy on coal-fired power generation here. Unfortunately, I could n’t do it, ”he said, and he did n’t specifically mention what he would do with coal-fired power generation.

In this COP, one of the focal points is whether each country can agree by raising the greenhouse gas reduction target, but Minister Koizumi did not touch on raising the target.

The speech was also disappointing from each country, and a man from the Spanish delegation said, “Japan should squeeze renewable energy, but it is a pity that no new action has been shown. I have no choice but to expect from the countries. "

Regarding the speech of Minister Koizumi, a man from the delegation of the Ethiopian government said, “In addition to explaining how to set goals and how to work,“ I am the youngest minister and I will be a father next year, so I am worried about the younger generation. "I was also impressed by talking". On the other hand, there was no mention of what to do with coal-fired power generation in the future. “Coal-fired power generation has a lot of greenhouse gas emissions, and developed countries should not proceed. I wanted you to stop thermal power generation. "

In addition, a man from the delegation of the West African Gambia said, “Countermeasures against global warming involve a process and take time. We have to act and persuade everyone to move the top of Japan.” .
