\"Japan<\/p>\n

Tokyo, 3 July 2018 \u2013 The Japanese government today approved the \u201cFifth Basic Energy Plan\u201d that will guide the national energy policy going forward to 2030 or beyond. Despite calls asking for public opinion on the plan, it has been approved with almost no major changes to the original proposal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cJapan must do its part to address climate change \u00a0but unfortunately, the government\u2019s energy plan is a missed opportunity. It lacks urgent and ambitious renewable energy targets, while maintaining dangerously high coal targets, and unrealistic targets for the troubled nuclear sector,\u201d said Hisayo Takada, Energy Project Leader at Greenpeace Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp to 70% of people in Japan want the country to go nuclear-free, but 7 years after the Fukushima nuclear accident, their views are still not being heard. [1]<\/p>\n

\u201cJapan needs to wake up to the reality of climate crisis and the changes that are already happening all over the world. It is clear that nuclear and coal generation cannot deliver a secure and sustainable energy future for Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n
