「世界消費者権利デー」を迎えるに当たって | 消費者庁

This page presents a message from the Consumer Affairs Agency commissioner regarding World Consumer Rights Day (March 15). This year's theme is tackling plastic pollution. Japan aims to reduce single-use plastic emissions by 25% cumulatively by 2030. The agency emphasizes cooperation between consumers and businesses to address societal challenges, prioritizing food loss reduction. It also addresses emerging consumer issues including vaccine scam prevention, digital commerce fraud countermeasures, and consumer education ahead of the legal adulthood age being lowered to 18 next April.
