 The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Japan’s Ministry of Environment (MOEJ) and Japan’s
Institute for Global Environmental Strategies met May 11-12 to exchange
information and expand collaboration on key climate change issues.
The two-day workshop brought together representatives from EPA, MOEJ, and the
U.S. State Department, as well as a number of non-governmental organizations,
to review and discuss important approaches to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Topics included greenhouse gas inventories and emissions forecasts,
greenhouse gas reporting systems, greenhouse gas trading, economic modelling,
land use, and addressing emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases.
The workshop also focused on identifying areas of future collaboration between
EPA and MOEJ, with the two agencies agreeing to enhance collaboration on the Methane to Markets Partnership and on capacity building for
greenhouse gas inventories.
