Date: 2023/05/19
Dear SSJ-Forum list member,
the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:
Otaka Junichiro:
"Climate Change: Trends, Policies, and Japan's Efforts in the Global Endeavours towards Net-Zero"
Date and time: Thursday, May 25, 2023, 18:30~20:00 (CEST, UTC+2h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CEST).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)
In their recently published 6th Assessment Report in March 2023, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has painted a bleak climate future, stating that "continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to increasing global warming, with the best estimate of reaching 1.5°C in the near term" , further highlighting that climate change remains a crucial global issue that requires urgent attention and action from all countries. To address these issues, the international community has been developing several policies, mechanisms and multilateral agreements, such as The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015.
As former Director of Climate Change Division (2020-2022) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Japan, Otaka Junichiro gives unique insights on Japan's engagement in international climate change cooperation and the country's position on climate change policies while discussing current trends and examining the development of several multilateral climate change initiatives in this short lecture.
This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for 50 people.
