He also identified disaster response as the first priority, and expressed his intention to steadily advance the five-year plan to accelerate measures for disaster prevention, mitigation and resilience. Minister emphasized the need to secure the necessary and sufficient budget and take both tangible and intangible approaches to promote disaster prevention, disaster mitigation, and countermeasures against aging infrastructure.

Prime Minister Kishida has instructed the ministry to revive the tourism industry which was damaged by the pandemic, and to develop infrastructure to support prosperous rural areas, in addition to building disaster-resistant regions.

From the perspective of promoting the integration of economic zones by linking local regions, the minister will work to eliminate missing links in high-speed rail and highways. Based on his experience as Minister of Environment in 2008 and 2009, he praised the government’s policy to achieve carbon-neutral society in 2050 as "groundbreaking.” He stated that the ministry, which covers a wide range of fields in land, sea, and air, should be a pillar to achieve the goal. In the private sector, energy conservation measures for homes and buildings will be strengthened. The ministry will also work with related ministries and agencies to promote renewable energy such as offshore wind power. (2021/10/06)
