Manage episode 306446588 series 2862389
As COP 26 is ongoing in Glasgow, many countries have updated their NDCs. Are these NDCs ambitious enough to achieve the 1.5℃ target? What outcome are we expecting from COP 26? In this episode, Lin from REEI will talk with Prof. Jusen Asuka from Tohoku University about their views on NDCs, then move on to topics such as power shortages, role of coal and carbon border adjustment measures. Prof. Asuka supports more renewables and thinks Japan needs a quicker coal phase-out, that is technically possible and economically viable.Japan needs 'real green' measures in energy transition at home and abroad.
