Ratification of the Paris Agreement
The House of Representatives passed an approval bill
November 8, 2016, Tokyo, Japan - Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida takes a bow after the Paris Agreement on climate change is approved in the Diet in Tokyo on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The government initially planned to have the lower chamber ratify the treaty on Nov. 4, but a Diet struggle over contentious legislation related to the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade arrangement froze deliberations.
