Topic:Fighting greenhouse gases with a focus on meat consumption or transport

Our world nowadays is facing so many issues of such negative impact on our society and our
world, and fighting greenhouse gases is for sure one of the most importance.
At this moment, Japan has an elaborate and well-developed plan, which in short and long term,
succes is announced.
We project that coal could continue to supply a third of Japan’s electricity in 2030 without a
further push for renewables.
Referring to a streak of extreme weather events that hit Japan in 2018, this country need to take
“more robust action” on climate change. However, there are doubts about how serious he is
about strengthening action in his own country. Japan’s new Basic Energy Plan was adopted in
July 2018, but it provides no vision nor strategy on how Japan can go beyond its 22–24% by
2030 renewable electricity target, which is likely to be achieved with existing policies. Instead it
focusses on whether new nuclear reactors could be constructed toward 2050 and how to reduce
the economic costs resulting from the renewable electricity support scheme.
One positive policy development since our previous assessment has been in the transport
sector—the Government, together with all major car manufacturing companies, is planning to set
a long-term target of reducing tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions by 90% below 2010 levels by 2050
for new passenger vehicles, assuming a near 100% share of electric vehicles.

Subnational and non-state actors are also becoming increasingly active—the Japan Climate
Initiative was launched in October 2018 with nearly 300 member organisations to accelerate the
transition toward decarbonisation.
Curent policy projection:
a)Industry:CO2 emissions from the industry sector (including indirect emissions from
electricity use as well as emissions from industrial processes) accounted for 38% of Japan’s total
energy-related CO2 emissions in 2016 . Emissions in the sector have reduced by 18% below
1990 levels.
b)Transport:
CO2 emissions (including indirect emissions from electricity use) from the transport sector
accounted for 18% of Japan’s total energy-related CO2 emissions in 2016 . Compared to 1990,
the emissions in this sector have increased by 4% but have been on a decreasing trend since 2001
and the emissions have since reduced by 18% .
Regarding vehicle decarbonisation, the current government target for ‘new generation’ vehicles
(including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, as well as
‘clean diesel’ vehicles and gas-powered vehicles) has been set at 50-70% of new sales by 2030 .
On the fuel economy of passenger vehicles, Japan has been one of the best performers over the
last few decades with the average CO2 intensity of 115 gCO2/km.
So Japan's vision on this topic is a normal one, that of trying to reduce it, but we think our
model is a good one and we recommend it to the other countries.

Topic:Taking a stand against fashion knock-offs

As in almost every country, fashion knockoffs also appears in Japan.
The issue is not just about what effects they have on society, but also how they work. In most
cases, these forgeries are brought to be worn, but there are cases in which these knockoffs are
used as a front, for clans and world criminal groups
Fakes have always been a big headache for law enforcement agencies, but lately they've
reached migraine proportions. Last year, the number of imitation fashion bags intercepted at
customs climbed to almost 84,000, or about double the level of the previous year. According to a
2001 study by the Government's Patent Office, 752 Japanese companies - many of them
bluechips - reported financial losses as more consumers went for cheaper fake. Again, that figure
was double as much as the previous year. What's worse, this mass-produced mimicry is a solid
revenue generator for international crime syndicates.

Though fraudulent goods are illegal to produce and sell, consumers themselves are not subject to
punishment. They can buy with impunity. With the economy in the dumps, a shopper hankering
for a leather handbag is liable to opt for a discount copycat rather than spend a month's rent on a
genuine Louis Vuitton Cite MM.

Japan thinks people need to be protected and informed that these knockoffs create false
illusions
Topic: Imposing strict copyright rules on the Internet following the model of EU 13
A country based on the British constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral Parliament, Japan
supports the idea of state, where freedom of exprimation is the most important.
Japanese law provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the government respects
these rights in practice. These freedoms extend to speech and expression on the Internet. An
independent press, an effective judiciary and a functioning democratic political system combine
to ensure these rights. The government does not restrict or disrupt access to the Internet or censor
online content, and there were no credible reports that the government monitors private online
communications without appropriate legal authority. The Internet is widely accessible and used.
Freedom House's Freedom in the World 2017 reports that "Internet access is not restricted" in
Japan.] Their Freedom on the Net reports have rated Japan's "Internet freedom status" as "free"
every year since 2013 with scores of 22 each year except for 2017 when the score was 23 (where
0 is most free and 100 is least free). The slight decline in Internet freedom in 2017 was due to
changes in the surveillance environment.
Regarding this topic, Japan believe there are more important things to do about Internet access
than copyright rules.These issues, which Japan is trying to combat, have much influence than
what the EU wants to fight through this article, so we should, as countries, focus more on
harmful influences such as hate speech, pornography, the dangers of social networks, and then
we also focus about the issues that article 13 present.
We are aware that this is a problem, but more serious things happen on the Internet, which
affects us and our future,children.
For example:
Anti-Korean and anti-Chinese hate speech proliferated online in 2012 and 2013 amid real-world
territorial disputes.
In 2013 new state secrets legislation criminalized both leaking and publishing broadly defined
national secrets regardless of intent or content
Legislation criminalizing the use of the Internet for child pornography and the solicitation of sex
from minors was passed in 2003.
So, Japan try to combate this type of problems, problems which affect most of the countries,real
danger problems.
