What is Japan's new greenhouse gas emission reduction target?

Japan has established ambitious new climate targets, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2035 fiscal year from 2013 levels. This commitment was announced by Japan's Environment Ministry as part of the country's strengthened climate action plan. The fiscal year in Japan begins in April, and this target represents a significant acceleration in Japan's decarbonization efforts. This bold target aligns with global climate goals and will serve as a stepping stone toward Japan's longer-term objective of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
