I join Ms. Robinson in saying that we consider this to be a wonderfuloccasion to be able to tell the world that the problem of climate change is now, and we must deal with it now.”.
For most of the African countries gathering here today, climate change is a matter of life or death, which has caused desertification and droughts. Japan definitely would like to continue to stand by all African countries and contribute to find solutions to these challenges.
That the CO2 problem, the climate problem that we have heard about, is driving lots of things-- innovations in the energy technologies that will reduce emissions-- but also, I think, inevitably, it will drive us towards thinking about climate and weather control, whether we like it or not.
The issue of climate change will be addressed as one of the main themes of the G8 summit that Japan will host in Toyako, Hokkaido a month and a half from now, and it is an area requiring everyone to make efforts so that we can agree on a post-2012 emissions reduction framework at an early stage and establish a low-carbon society.
