More than 100 Japanese companies, local governments and NGOs have launched a new group to push for a carbon-free society and to help raise Japan’s presence in the global fight against climate change.
The Japan Climate Initiative plans to work with fellow non-state actors in other parts of the world to overcome the challenges of global warming and delivering on the commitments within the 2015 Paris accord, which aims to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions effectively to zero in the latter half of this century.
Local governments such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the cities of Kyoto and Yokohama are also part of the new initiative, as are organizations including the Renewable Energy Institute.
