What are Japan's new climate targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

Japan has established ambitious new climate targets, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 2013 levels by 2035. According to Japan's Environment Ministry, this significant reduction is planned to begin in the upcoming fiscal year starting in April. The target represents a major step in Japan's climate commitments within the next decade. This initiative aligns with Japan's broader climate strategy, which includes increasing renewable electricity generation and working toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as part of its commitment under the Paris Agreement.
