What are Tokyo's emissions reduction goals for 2040?

Tokyo aims to cut emissions by 73% by the 2040 fiscal year as part of its new nationally determined contribution. This ambitious target is a voluntary pledge that will be submitted to the United Nations as part of Japan's climate action commitments. The goal aligns with Japan's broader strategy to transition toward renewable energy sources, with projections targeting 40% to 50% of power generation from renewables by 2040. This represents a significant shift in Japan's energy policy, which has historically been heavily reliant on fossil fuels, especially following the Fukushima disaster.
