change are made consistent with the future as well as present needs.

PERSPECTIVES
The idea, that human

consequence results to
climate change and global

In 1972, was the first major international
recognition at the United Nation’s

E
Conference on the Human Environment held

in Stockholm.

In 1980, a world conservation strategy

which include one of the pioneering
references to sustainable development,
making it a global priority was published by
the International Union of the Conservation
of Nature (IUCN).
In 1982, five principles of ‘conservation’ was
raised by the United Nations World Charter Sustainable

In 1987, the report Our Common Future
was published by the United Nations World
Commission on Environment and
Development, contained the iconic and
universally accepted definition of
sustainable development.

should be given.

2. The idea of ‘limitations’ imposed by the state of

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also known as global goals or
“Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable

Development” in short , the 2030 Agenda. The Millennium Development

SA
Goals (MDGs) which coverage was only until 2015 was replaced by the
current SDGs which framework does not distinguish between
“developing” (third-world) and developed (first-world) countries.
Its goals therefore are universal and applicable to all
nations around the world. The United Nations’ (UN)
General Assembly formally adopted in September 2015
the “universal, integrated, and transformative” 2030

E
SA
Agenda for sustainable development Goals (SDGs).
These goals should be carried-out and be realized in
each and every country from the year 2016-2030.

adjusting power line usage

possible, renewable sources

incorporated into the system
and this is the cheapest way.

of new entrants in solar power generation had
surge. Numbers of firms continued to decline as

• Akhiro Hanzawa sells renewable across Japan.
Then something unexpectedly happened. Juts
after building a new wind power plant, he was
informed that transmission lines do not have
the capacity anymore. He has to stop the wind
turbines during certain days. This makes his
situation extremely unstable.
•HIGH COST
• Number one challenge in Japanese
businesses. For example, a company
still has to pay real estate tax but the
local electric power utility demanded
an unexpected fee.

Detour and Diversion: The
Case of China and Japan

E
SA
• Japanese Policy on renewables revealed that the percentage of
transmission capacity is not enough because remaining
capacities are reserved when nuclear energy supply go full swing
in the future. It needs to secure full transmission capacity for this
purpose to ensure safety and stability. The company must
consider all the sources set to go into full operation.
Detour and Diversion: The Case of China and Japan
• On the other hand, China does not
have the same equation in the
energy business, while Japan has a
program where the utilities buy

E
renewable energy at a fixed price
under the “fixed-price purchase

SA
scheme”, which guarantees price
stability. China can turn into profit
even if the initial investment is high.
Despite the many challenges faced
by Japanese firms, Chinese
companies go to Japan and entering
the market.
Factors why China wants to do Business in Japan

• The Price Pay to Producers

• Is set higher in Japan because

Japan very attractive in business.
