Summary In March 2023, the Japan Energy Law Institute published a paper by Professor Yumiko Nakanishi at the Graduate School of Law titled "Development of Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) between Japan and EU: Focus on Environmental and Energy Issues." This report examines the significance and prospects of the two agreements concluded between Japan and the EU - the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA). The agreements discuss topics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and the conflict in Ukraine. Professor Nakanishi explained that the EPA is a sign of cooperation, promoting energy efficiency and fighting climate change. Also, she mentioned some provisions that establish a legal framework and provide roles and legal binding in the SPA related to climate change and the conflict in Ukraine. Finally, Professor Nakanishi concluded that there had been concrete and substantive discussions on implementing both agreements in the recent Japan-EU Summit Meetings. In other words, these meetings symbolize a fundamental cooperative framework to address the most pressing energy-related issues.
