Japan is preparing to strengthen its emissions goals as part of its commitment to the 2015 Paris Agreement, Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said during a virtual international climate conference he chaired Thursday.
In one of the biggest climate-related gathering of world leaders since the so-called COP25 meeting in December, Koizumi also urged officials to use coronavirus-related stimulus programs to set their economies on a more environmentally sustainable path. Decarbonization and decentralization are among steps key for a post-pandemic recovery, he said at the forum.
