Climate Change Program

The goal of the Climate Change program is to promote green economy and combat climate change through strengthening Japan’s domestic climate policies.

Our activities are focused on:
・ Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and International Cooperation
・ Mid-term Goals
・ Domestic emissions trading and Voluntary Action Plan

Besides, our green tax reform program advocates the use of economic instruments (such as carbon taxes) to combat climate change.

Our program is centered on CDM and International cooperation, mid-term goals, green tax reforms, domestic emissions trading and Voluntary Action Plan.
