Symposium(January 17th,2011)

Topic

  • Regulations on Diesel Vehicles as a Measure against Climate Change

Objects

 The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s regulations on diesel vehicles have been one of the successes of the policies by Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara. At a stroke, the regulations moved forward measures against air pollution, which had been neglected by the national government. It has also recently been found that soot (black carbon) in exhaust has an extremely strong greenhouse effect, and these regulations have thus been drawing attention for their hidden success at combating climate change.
  A symposium was held to look back over the diesel-vehicle regulations advanced by Governor Ishihara over the past 11 years, and discuss directions for diesel regulations as a means of combating climate change moving forward. Experts and opinion leaders from the international community also were invited to this event.
