This international conference was held online on the night of the 3rd with the participation of more than 70 ministers in the environmental fields of Japan and other regions.
In a video message, UN Secretary-General Guterres said in a video message that global greenhouse gas emissions would be cut in half by 2030 and zero by 2050 in order to keep the temperature rise of the Earth within 1.5 degrees this century. I emphasized again that it is necessary to do it.
And as the "achievement of the goal's possible, but the prospect is not standing", it showed severe recognition to the state of the global warming.
In addition, Secretary-General Guterres said of Japan, "151 local governments with a total of 71 million people support the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050." I hoped for the heightened awareness of global warming countermeasures.
