SECTION II Item Papers of the 10 th APN Inter-Governmental Meeting and 10 th Scientific Planning Group Meeting �26�
Opening Remarks - Mr. Seizo Matsumoto Vice Minister for Global Environmental Affairs Ministry of the Environment, Japan 12 April 2005 Good morning, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to welcome all of the distinguished delegates who are visiting Kobe to participate in the 10 th Inter-Governmental Meeting and Scientific Planning Group Meeting of the APN. On behalf of the Japanese Government, I would like to mention a few points regarding the contribution of the APN to the Asia-Pacific region. The Importance of the Asia-Pacific region The Asia-Pacific region comprises a variety of natural environments ranging from tropical forests to deserts, arid areas, high mountains and small islands, much of which are vulnerable to global change. On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for almost two-thirds of the world’s population. In addition, its economic growth rate is the highest of any region in the world. The population growth rate and economic activity of this region means that it contributes to global climate change in a major way. The Mission of the APN The APN is an inter-governmental network; it was formally established in 1996. Its mission is to foster global environmental change research in the Asia-Pacific region, increase developing country participation in that research, and strengthen interactions between the science and policy-makers. The Contribution to the International Community The APN has steadily grown over the past decade to the point where it is recognised internationally as a global change research network, largely due to the active participation and strong commitment of member countries. In particular, in 2003, the APN established the CAPaBLE programme. Under this program, capacity-building and enhancement activities for researchers in developing countries such as assessment of green house gas emissions and research on vulnerability to climate change have been implemented. I am grateful to Australia, New Zealand, and the United States for their dedication to the program, and to developing countries for extensive and active participation. I confidently believe that CAPaBLE activities will contribute to the evolution of scientific knowledge and the implementation of measures on climate change. Furthermore, at the 3rd Earth Observation Summit held in February 2005 in Brussels, the 10-Year Implementation Plan for establishing a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) was adopted by Ministers from approximately 60 countries. Due to the APN’s funded research projects and capacity-building activities, I am certain that the APN is in a position to positively contribute to earth observation systems in areas such as climate change and ecosystems. �27�
