Dialogue Session with Three Ministers of the Cabinet
On April 26, 2010, Japan-CLP carried out a dialogue with Yoshito SENGOKU State Minister in Charge of National Strategy, Masayuki NAOSHIMA Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and Environmental Minister Sakihito OZAWA. In the meeting that lasted for an hour, Minister Sengoku welcomed the establishment of Japan-CLP and its recommendation, under the situation where a new growth model must be designed with green innovation as its axis. Minister Naoshima said that the principle of “sustainable low carbon society", which is also the title of Japan-CLP's recommendation, is important that he is interested in pursuing the idea of the recommendation for the new growth strategy as far as possible. Furthermore, Minister Ozawa, who attended Japan-CLP's symposium in December 2009, stated that he is willing to incorporate a wide range of opinion during policy designing, and showed great interest in eco-active consumers and Japan-CLP's views on how businesses may capture cost of burden.
