This symposium is supported by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund in FY2017
2-1702: Integrated Analyses of Climate Policies for Simultaneous Realization of the Paris Agreement and the SDGsof the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency

Outline of this symposium

Speakers

The Paris Agreement which was entered into force on 4 November 2016 states
to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping aglobal temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius abovepre-industrial levels and to pursue eﬀorts to limit the temperature increase
even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In order to achieve these ambitious goals,
the Paris Agreement requires all Parties to put forward their best eﬀorts
through “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs), and to strive toformulate and communicate long-term low greenhouse gas emission
development strategies. The Environment Research and Technology
Development Fund (2-1702): “Integrated Analyses of Climate Policies for
Simultaneous Realization of the Paris Agreement and the SDGs” started theresearch to realize both the decarbonized society and sustainable development
goals (SDGs) in the world and Japan.
At this symposium, this research outline of 2-1702 will be introduced. Then, thesituations in Europe, USA and Asia to achieve the Paris Agreement will be
introduced by the experts participating in the Implications of Paris Researchand Workshop Series*. Finally we will have a discussion with all speakers on
the long-term greenhouse gas mitigation target and the strategy in Japan.
