11. ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability prevents nature from
being used at an inexhaustible
source or resources and ensures its
protection and rational use.
Extinction of resources is
consequently, extinction of
humanity.

12. SOCIAL
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability foster the
development of people,
communities, and cultures to help
achieve reasonable and fairly
distributed quality of life, health

13. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability focuses on equal economic
growth that generates wealth for all
without harming the environment.
“Nations cannot build economies on the
basis of human suffering.” (A quote from
Gina Lopez, former DENR presidential
appointee)

21. HISTORICAL
PERSPECTIVES
The idea, that human
activities undeniably yields to
planetary atrocities and as a
consequence results to
climate change and global
warming that further
aggravates into nvironmental
problems

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

Development

23. Sustainable
Development
In 1982, five principles of ‘conservation’ was
raised by the United Nations World Charter
for Nature, used as the guiding principles
for judging human conduct that affects
nature.
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.

24. Is a development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. It includes two key concept:
1. The concept of ‘needs’ the essential needs of the world’s poor, to which
overriding priority should be given.
2. The idea of ‘limitations’ imposed by the state of technology and social
organizations on the environment ability to meet present and future needs.

25. Development Approach
-that is deemed to balance the different and
oftentimes, competing needs versus the awareness to the
environmental, economic, and social limitations of the
universe and its components.

26. 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
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.

27. 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
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.

28. Generationcosts of

diminishing every

29. Land basedwindpower could competewith thermalpower
costs have droppedand become competitive with thermal
power.It is not theshift to renewables willstop becauseof
thelackof government policy,thingsare moving ahead at a
place and scale exceeding government expectations.

30. •A key issue of stability is how
to channel into the power
distribution system. There
are ways to deal with the
issue through electricity
storage or adjustments at
thermo-power stations. By
adjusting power line usage
over a wide an area as
possible, renewable sources
of energy can be
incorporated into the system
and this is the cheapest way.

31. • After the mass earthquake in Japan, the number
of new entrants in solar power generation had
surge. Numbers of firms continued to decline as
well as bankruptcies. Until Chinese businesses
are focused and bought struggling Japanese
firms.

32. 32
•LIMITED ACCESS TO
INFRASTRACTURE
•HIGH COST
• 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.
• 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.
Challenges in Japanese Energy Generation Firms

33. Detour and Diversion: The
Case of China and Japan
• 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

34. • On the other hand, China does not
have the same equation in the
energy business, while Japan has a
program where the utilities buy
renewable energy at a fixed price
under the “fixed-price purchase
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.
Detour and Diversion: The Case of China and Japan

35. Factors why China wants to do Business in Japan
• The Price Pay to Producers
• Is set higher in Japan because
Japanese market has a very high
potential expansion which makes
Japan very attractive in business.
• Chinese Firms
• Will gain brand recognition if they
succeed, they believe that this will
be a huge plus to expanding their
business around the world.

36. 36
• Is necessary to understand,
especially we, Filipino here in the
Philippines and other countries
because surely we are undeniable
one of the global consumers of
energy. It has clearly manifested to
us the sustainable development is
the balance combination of
infrastructure mobilization.
• Professor of graduate school of environmental
studies in Japan suggested that they need to
make full use of existing power lines would be
the key to cutting cost to address the issue of
high cost due to transmission infrastructure.
The them an information about lines usage
needs to be transparent to renewable energy
producers and other stakeholders.
• Takamura, also suggested further that Japan
must create an investment in regulatory
environment including rules in using power
lines to cut cost. Green energy must be spread
to make industry competitive. To this direction,
Japan needs to reshape its energy policy.
