President Biden has announced a new goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in his country by 50% to 52% by 2030 compared to 2005, demonstrating international leadership and calling for further efforts by each country. It's an idea.

The Climate Change Summit, hosted by President Biden, began online at 9 pm on the 22nd of Japan time.



Summit representative, such as 40 of the countries and institutions of the two-day schedules to discuss the correspondence towards the reduction of greenhouse gas, in the first session other Biden President, Prime Minister Kan and China Xi Jinping Jintao, Russian Leaders of 26 countries and regions, including President Putin, will explain the goals and efforts of each country.



According to senior U.S. government officials, President Biden is here to announce a new goal to reduce his greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% by 2030 compared to 2005.



In 2015, the Obama administration in the United States submitted a goal to the United Nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2025 compared to 2005, and the new goal is to significantly reduce this. I am raising it to.



The Biden administration will accelerate the stagnant efforts of the former Trump administration by setting high goals for climate change countermeasures, which is one of the most important issues, and regain international leadership and demand further efforts from each country. At the same time, I want to improve the momentum in Japan.



In addition, the cooperation of China, the world's largest emitter, is essential for the Biden administration to achieve the goal of virtually zero global greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of this century as set forth in the Paris Agreement. From this standpoint, in the midst of conflicts with China in terms of security and human rights, it seems that we would like to draw cooperation in climate change countermeasures from China through this summit.
