In 2004 -2009, he led a strategic research of Japan Low Carbon Society Project of MoE, to explore the scenario of 70% GHG reduction in 2050 in Japan. This works was extended to Prime Minister Fukuda’s Low Carbon Society policy (60-80% reduction in 2050) declared at Toyako G8 Summit. From 2007-12 he served as a Co-leader of Kakushin Climate modeling project of MEXT and chaired Sub-committee for Low Carbon Japan Scenario in Central Council of Environment Japan. His recent work focuses on international collaboration for supporting Asian countries’ leap-fogging to low carbon world and collaboration with European climate research community.
He is now advocating the establishing of worldwide researchers’ network dedicated to practical climate policy responding to the urgency of strengthening INDC action plan until 2020, especially for developing countries.
