Environment Minister Goshi Hosono told environmentalists Tuesday that Japan won't reverse its refusal to accept fresh binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, officials of nongovernmental organizations said.
Hosono reportedly said during a closed, informal meeting with the environmentalists from Japan and other countries that he is aware of the importance of the climate framework but reiterated that Japan will not accept a new commitment period. (Japan Times)
