In the current situation in which global warming is becoming a pressing issue worldwide, policies are required for realizing carbon neutrality. Particularly in the ASEAN countries, energy consumption in the transportation sector is expected to increase, and the promotion of policies for realizing carbon neutrality in this sector will be necessary following the rapid increase in demand going forward. In contrast, energy consumption in the transportation sector in Japan has seen a reducing trend in recent years as a result of the implementation of advanced various measures.
In the seminar held this time, information was shared relating to advanced measures in Japan taken from excellent case examples outlining improvements in logistics efficiency, etc. conducted by automobile manufacturers, consigners and carriers, together with technologies for improving the efficiency of cold chain logistics. In addition, activities including question and answer sessions were held.
With these activities, participants could deepen their understanding of the details of the advanced and practical measures in Japan and could have an opportunity to consider their promotion in the transportation and logistics sectors of their own country to realize carbon neutrality. By holding this seminar, it was possible to effectively support the improvement of participants’ capabilities as the policy makers.
In addition, the activities could also contribute to creating an environment for business development by Japanese companies in the ASEAN region.
