Nippon Keidanren’s Commitment to a Low Carbon Society Sample Clauses

Nippon Keidanren’s Commitment to a Low Carbon Society. On 15 December 2009, the Nippon Keidanren announced that it was formulating a “Commitment to a Low Carbon Society”, explicitly identified as a continuation of the Voluntary Action Plan, and made up of three core policies: (Xxxxxxxxx, 2009) 1. To provide society with low-carbon technologies while maintaining or improving current levels of efficiency. The Nippon Keidanren see new technology as fundamental to the feasibility of halving carbon emissions by 2050, and propose that industrial sectors, universities and other research centres cooperate to create a technology development strategy to identify key technical challenges and pursue a medium- to long-term roadmap for their development and dissemination. 2. Industry will publically announce and pursue voluntary absolute or intensity-based CO2 reduction targets to be achieved by 2020. Targets are to be based on an international comparison of energy efficiency and the assumption that the best-available technology will be used to build all new facilities, “demonstrat[ing] to the international community that the targets represent the deepest reduction levels attainable”. 3. To “pursue a PDCA cycle [plan-do-check-act] in partnership with the government to ensure that the initiatives by participating industries are steadily and reliably implemented”. This is likely to mean a continuation of annual reports, evaluated by an independent body, although perhaps with increased government involvement. The new Commitment would also continue to actively participate in the APP and aim to demonstrate leadership in international private-led cooperations in industries such as electric power, steel, chemicals and cement.
