What are Japan's new climate emission reduction targets?

Japan has set ambitious new climate targets, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by the 2025 fiscal year compared to 2013 levels. According to Japan's Environment Ministry, this significant reduction commitment will begin in April of the 2025 fiscal year. This bold climate action represents a major step for Japan, which is the world's fourth largest economy, as it works to align with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
