The UK and Japan will strengthen their collaboration to tackle international climate change and energy security issues, including energy efficiency, nuclear energy and renewable energy policies.

The announcement came during a two day visit to the UK, by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, where he met with UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey, and they reiterated their commitment to ensuring security of supply and reducing emissions.

“The UK and Japan both recognise the importance of investing in a diverse and clean energy mix in order to ensure a competitive economy, long-term security of supply and avoid dangerous climate change”,  commented Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Edward Davey.

“I hugely value our partnership with Japan and am pleased to continue to work together to secure a global climate change deal in 2015 and support the global transition to a low carbon economy.”

Mr Davey and Prime Minister Abe also discussed areas of UK-Japan low carbon cooperation, including nuclear energy. Both countries believe that nuclear energy provides a consistent and affordable source of energy, and has a key role to play in the future low carbon energy mix. The UK and Japan are working together with other G7 partners to enhance energy resilience worldwide, through promoting a diverse, low carbon energy mix and integrated energy markets.
