Introduction: Conference theme: Canada and Japan relations post the Great East Japan Earthquake.Impact:The estimated economic loss post the Great East Japan Earthquake is US$235 Billion—the most expensive disaster ever (World Bank) <-make comparison graphCompared to February 2011, foreign tourists in Japan dropped by 2.1 million visitors, which is a 60% decrease from last year.340,000-Number of displaced citizens in the Tohoku region due to Tsuanami-Briefly Talk GEJE facts…Yes, the loss is tragic…the scale immense…but, amongst all this, we see hope—a clear opportunity for not just Japan, but for the world, the global community, to rethink its energy policies, to reassess the importance/immediacy of environmental issues, and most of all, to build more resilient and sustainable societies.So our question today is: How can Japan and Canada cooperate with each other to develop more sustainable societies?There are many ways to achieve this goal, but, we believe, one of the ways, to reach this goal, is through sustainable tourism. -List some profound facts – make sure to use scales and comparisons. Make it interesting.
