An article on the symposium titled “Environmental Law Practitioner Roundtable (Part 2): Decarbonization” in which Kenji Sarukura participated as a panelist was published in the February 2025 issue of the monthly magazine “Environmental Management” (Vol. 61 No. 2).

– Global trends of decarbonization

– Price issues

– Fair trade perspectives

– Emissions trading

“In the train of last month’s theme ‘Circular Economy’ (Part 1), the theme for the second practitioner roundtable is ‘Decarbonization.’ Decarbonization not only works as momentum to promote or obligate CO2 reduction but also entails a string of issues pertaining to, among other things, costs, supply chains, emissions trading and global competition. In the future, there may be lawsuits regarding damages from climate change due to a failure to advance decarbonization as well as a lawsuit regarding collateral damage due to advancement of decarbonization. In this article, practicing lawyers develop discussions and examinations based on their vast experiences in various regions and industries, which should be suggestive to a wide range of readers.”
