The chapter discusses Japan's leadership in post-2001 Kyoto Protocol politics, focusing on why Japan ratified the Kyoto Protocol and Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's commitment to reducing emissions by 60-80% by 2050. It explores how interests, institutions, and ideas influence decision-making, and looks at the role of embedded symbols in politics. The chapter also analyzes the process leading to ratification and compares it to the politics of implementation.
