The IPCC has introduced a new high-end risk scenario, stating that a global rise “approaching 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150 under a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario cannot be ruled out due to deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes.”. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100.

In April 2013, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry developed the ‘Director-General Meeting Agreement’ that substantially loosened the assessment standards for building new coal-fired power plants. This led to the increased use of other energy sources, especially coal, for electricity generation.
