In this submission, Japan pronounces its ultimate goal of expeditiously adopting a new comprehensive legally-binding document which will establish a fair and effective international framework with participation of all major economies to achieve the reduction of global GHG emissions at least 50% by 2050, recognizing the 2 degrees global goal.
Moreover, this submission indicates that it is important to embark on necessary works at COP17 through clarifying the steps toward the future comprehensive framework.
