the reason of this is the fukushima disaster.ll of japan's nuclear reactors have been closed down. japan produces nearly all of its electricity from burning coal and natural gas. that means more co2 is being pumped into the air. back in 1997 of the kyoto climate conference japan committed itself to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 1990 levels by the year 2020. after the fukushima disaster, tokyo scrapped that promise. now it appears the government has a new formula. japan will cut emissions by 20% below 2013 levels by the year 2030. the trouble with that is that it is a much smaller cut. the japanese government will argue that it is even more reason why japan must get its nuclear power plant back online as soon as possible. an environmental campaign is here, saint japan can do much more to increase output from renewable sources. bbc news in tokyo. laura: guenter grass has died at 87. in 1999 he was awarded with the nobel prize for literature. in recent years he shocked germany when he revealed he has been a member of

it calls for reducing dependence on nuclear power to lower levels than before the fukushima accident. they have been holding meetings since january. nuclear power should make up between 20 and 22% of japan's total energy supply. the figure was 28% before the nuclear accident. japan's dependence on other energy sources has risen since then as all nuclear reactors are off line. that's driven up fuel costs. ministry officials decided nuclear power is necessary to bring down prices and cut greenhouse gas emissions. the plan calls for more than doubling the amount of energy from renewable sources, green energy currently accounts for a little over 10% of the total surprise. that's a rise between 22 and 24%. power from renewable source will exceed that from nuclear energy. the ministry plans to present its draft plan to experts on tuesday of next week. >>> checking the markets tokyo stocks climbed to a fresh 15 year high. the nikkei average closed up 0.27% at 20,187. analysts say investors are expecting many firms to report strong earnings in the weeks ahead. south korean shares jumped to a
