To begin, I will provide a brief overview of COP 10.
COP 10 is スポーツ賭け日本 tenth meeting of スポーツ賭け日本 Conference of スポーツ賭け日本 Parties to スポーツ賭け日本 Convention on Biological Diversity, a convention formulated to protect living creatures and their habitats, and to enable us to enjoy スポーツ賭け日本 blessings of nature while passing them on to our descendants.

スポーツ賭け日本 main agenda of スポーツ賭け日本 conference will be

We can expect both frank and intense discussion of these and other issues at スポーツ賭け日本 meeting.

スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region's activities looking towards COP 10

This will be スポーツ賭け日本 first such international event to be held in Nagoya since スポーツ賭け日本 2005 World Exposition, "Exposition of Global Harmony," held in Aichi, Japan, five years ago.
スポーツ賭け日本 Aichi-Nagoya COP 10 CBD Promotion Committee, chaired by スポーツ賭け日本 Governor of Aichi Prefecture, was established locally to implement a variety of activities in スポーツ賭け日本 lead-up to COP 10. Chiefly made up of representatives of スポーツ賭け日本 national and local governments and business organizations, スポーツ賭け日本 committee also features スポーツ賭け日本 involvement of local citizens.
スポーツ賭け日本 committee is conducting various COP 10-related events, seeking to create a region that coexists with nature and to communicate スポーツ賭け日本 appeal of such a region, at スポーツ賭け日本 same time as cooperating and conducting exchanges with governments around スポーツ賭け日本 world and with NPOs from Japan and overseas.
Please look at スポーツ賭け日本 reference material. スポーツ賭け日本 Aichi-Nagoya COP 10 CBD Promotion Committee is organizing exhibitions and other events to publicize スポーツ賭け日本 initiatives of national governments, NGOs and NPOs, and companies to protect biodiversity, and to offer opportunities for exchange, in three areas of Nagoya, including スポーツ賭け日本 Shirotori district adjacent to スポーツ賭け日本 Nagoya Congress Center.
スポーツ賭け日本 committee has also organized スポーツ賭け日本 International Children's Conference on Biodiversity in order to instill a concern for environmental issues such as biodiversity in スポーツ賭け日本 children who will be responsible for スポーツ賭け日本 next generation.
Regional business groups, including スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu Economic Federation and スポーツ賭け日本 Nagoya Chamber of Commerce & Industry, are also actively involving themselves in events leading up to スポーツ賭け日本 conference.
スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu Economic Federation is planning events including forums and poster displays introducing corporate initiatives and facility visits to introduce スポーツ賭け日本 public to advanced technologies.
スポーツ賭け日本 conference itself is just around スポーツ賭け日本 corner, and スポーツ賭け日本 preparations to welcome guests from around スポーツ賭け日本 world to Nagoya are progressing well. スポーツ賭け日本 momentum is building for スポーツ賭け日本 region to come together as one to offer our guests a wonderful experience.

Chubu Electric's initiatives looking towards COP 10

As a resident of スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region, Chubu Electric is also seeking to aid スポーツ賭け日本 success of COP 10, and is actively involved in cooperative and collaborative activities in addition to introducing visitors to our initiatives for スポーツ賭け日本 protection of biodiversity.
I will provide a brief overview of our COP 10-related activities.
First, please look at スポーツ賭け日本 "Overview of Chubu Electric exhibition in Messe Nagoya 2010" in スポーツ賭け日本 reference material. スポーツ賭け日本 Nagoya Chamber of Commerce & Industry is organizing an exhibition for different industries called Messe Nagoya 2010 as a COP 10-related event in スポーツ賭け日本 large-scale exhibition center Port Messe Nagoya, located in Nagoya's Minato Ward.
This year’s theme is "environment and energy." Our exhibition will focus on our responses to global warming, in particular through promotion of nuclear power generation and renewable energy power generation, in addition to our initiatives to protect biodiversity. We will also provide visitors with an introduction to technologies that our company has developed.
We are also conducting commemorative tree-planting events, in an attempt to foster an awareness of スポーツ賭け日本 importance of スポーツ賭け日本 environment and to promote behavior that is considerate of スポーツ賭け日本 environment throughout our society, by offering スポーツ賭け日本 opportunity to plant a tree.
On スポーツ賭け日本 1st of May this year, which we designated "Chubu Electric Environment Day," we presented Nagoya Grampus with commemorative tree-planting certificates.
In December, with スポーツ賭け日本 cooperation of Nagoya Grampus, using those certificates Nagoya Grampus players and supporters will plant trees together with employees of our company.
By means of these activities, we are maintaining our efforts to enable スポーツ賭け日本 people of our region to continue to enjoy スポーツ賭け日本 rich blessings of nature into スポーツ賭け日本 future.
With スポーツ賭け日本 success of スポーツ賭け日本 COP 10 meeting, we have an opportunity to show people from all over スポーツ賭け日本 world how Aichi Prefecture has continued to work to resolve environmental issues since スポーツ賭け日本 end of Expo 2005.
Chubu Electric wishes to actively support Aichi Prefecture in this.
I would also like to ask all of our friends in スポーツ賭け日本 media to offer their support to スポーツ賭け日本 COP 10 meeting.

That concludes my remarks for today.
