Makoto HAMAGUCHI, a member of the House of Councilors of the People’s Democratic Party of Japan, asked Mr. Haoliang Xu two questions. The first question was about Japan’s CO2 emissions, which amount to 1.1 billion tons annually. He asked how the UNDP evaluates Japan’s efforts to decarbonize and address climate change. He also wanted to know what role the permanent members of the UN Council should play in the future in response to the conflicts that are constantly occurring today. (25/6/2024)
