lowest since 2013, Japan is still set to miss its 2030 target if it does not implement more ambitious policies. The government’s climate agenda</b> <b>continues to place more emphasis on economic growth and energy security, rather than ambitious decarbonisation efforts. Japan’s latest Green Transformation strategy, the GX Basic Policy, does not provide concrete emissions reduction targets; instead, it promotes the development of so-called “clean coal” technologies in the power sector, a move inconsistent with pathways required to limit global warming to below 1.5°C.</b></p><p data-block-key="8v1rh"><b>The government plans to update both its NDC and Basic Energy Plan. The new Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, should seize this opportunity to prioritise the scale-up of renewable energy and move rapidly away from coal once and for all. The CAT continues to rate Japan’s overall climate targets and action as “Insufficient”.</b></p><p data-block-key="ciurl">Japan’s 2030 emission reduction target is not aligned with the Paris Agreement and remains “Insufficient”. Japan aims to reduce emissions by 46% by 2030 below 2013 levels (and 50% below as an aspirational target), a target that still falls short of the more than 60% reduction below 2013 levels that a <a href="https://climateactiontracker.org/press/japans-paris-agreement-target-should-be-more-than-60-by-2030_analysis/">CAT analysis</a> estimates as 1.5°C-compatible.</p><p data-block-key="duds1">The GX Basic Policy suggests the government is still reluctant to take the measures necessary to decarbonise its economy and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, as would be implied by its current net zero target. The new strategy provides no details on the expected emission reductions for 2030 and 2050. There are also concerns that the carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes envisioned by the government will not be effective in reducing Japan’s emissions. It remains unclear whether the emissions trading scheme planned for 2026 will still be based on voluntary participation, and the carbon levy, which will only be implemented in 2028, is expected to be set a low level.</p><p data-block-key="cnoem">In a significant policy shift, Japan has unveiled plans to build new generation nuclear reactors, as part of the GX Basic Policy. Despite this reversal, many regulatory and economic hurdles to new nuclear reactors remain, making it unlikely that they will be operational before 2035-2040. Renewable energy deployment continues to take a back seat, as the government prioritises nuclear energy expansion and the development of so called “clean coal” technologies.</p><p data-block-key="afqhr">The GX Basic Policy also puts a strong emphasis on the need to develop Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies, and ammonia and hydrogen co-firing in the power sector, in Japan and overseas. However, these technologies would not be needed to decarbonise Japan’s energy sector if Japan fully harnessed the potential of its renewable energy sources, which are much cheaper in comparison and have a much lower environmental footprint.</p><p data-block-key="asrt1">In April 2024, G7 countries agreed to phase out unabated coal power generation by 2035, an unambitious timeline for developed countries which should aim for a 2030 phase-out at the latest. The pledge gives leeway to Japan to keep relying on coal power plants with ammonia co-firing power and “high efficiency” coal power, which cannot be considered "abated" coal.</p><p data-block-key="bhcni">The Japanese government is pushing for continued investment in upstream fossil gas and LNG, claiming it can be a transitional fossil fuel. Japan is also advocating for further development of LNG infrastructure in other countries, to sustain its large flow of imports. However, such investment further contributes to locking in carbon-intensive developments: <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adn6533">Recent scientific literature</a> highlights that there is no room for investment in new oil, gas, and coal activities if global warming is to be limited to 1.5°C, and such investments are in stark contrast to what is needed to meet Paris Agreement goals.</p><p data-block-key="ao5vc">In policy documents, the Japanese government consistently uses terms such as “clean coal”, “green transformation”, “electrified vehicles” and “clean hydrogen”. However, these terms are undefined, often misleading and strengthen a harmful narrative, serving as a smokescreen to hide the government’s intention to keep relying on fossil fuels.</p><p data-block-key="ko26">Japan’s GHG emissions fell to a record low in 2022, mainly due to reduced energy consumption in the industry and commercial sectors. Without additional measures, Japan’s current policies and actions will lead to emission levels of 31% to 37% below 2013 levels in 2030, excluding LULUCF. This falls short of Japan’s NDC target, let alone the 60% below 2013 levels in 2030 needed to be in line with keeping warming below 1.5°C.</p><p data-block-key="fkrl6">The government is currently in the process of drafting its 2035 NDC and its Basic Energy Plan, which is the overarching document governing Japan’s energy policy. To improve its climate targets and action rating, Japan could:</p><ul><li data-block-key="c5hdr">Commit to a full coal phase-out in a timeline consistent with pathways required to limit global warming to below 1.5°C</li><li data-block-key="1drgj">Set new electricity mix targets for 2035 in the new Basic Energy Plan in line with the upcoming NDC target year</li><li data-block-key="ac2pm">Prioritise the scale-up of renewable energy capacity and strengthen related targets</li><li data-block-key="7l0a8">Strengthen its EV target to phase out all fossil-fuel passenger (ICE) cars from new sales by 2035.</li><li data-block-key="b9buo">Stop public financing of fossil fuel projects overseas and stop the international promotion of “clean coal” technologies.</li><li data-block-key="6ns4b">Strengthen its 2030 target ambition level in line with the Paris Agreement</li></ul><p data-block-key="94u3c">Despite Japan’s overall lack of ambition, there have been a few positive developments worth highlighting, including some sub-national actions:</p><ul><li data-block-key="1urr3">The adoption of the “Renewable Energy Installation Standards”, a regulation requiring construction companies to install rooftop solar panels on new buildings in Tokyo, from 2025.</li><li data-block-key="dns4p">The amendment of the Act on Sea Area Utilisation for Renewable energy to accelerate the development of offshore wind power, particularly floating wind turbines.</li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="content-section content-section--has-left-side"> <div class="container"> <div class="content-section__left-side"> <h3 id="section__description-of-cat-ratings" data-section-header-expandable data-content-target=".content-section__content" data-section-target=".content-section--has-left-side" class="collapsed"> Description of CAT ratings </h3> </div> <div class="content-section__content"> <div class="content-block"><p data-block-key="nx3td">The CAT rates each country’s targets and policies against (1) its <a href="https://climateactiontracker.org/methodology/cat-rating-methodology/fair-share/">fair share</a> contribution to climate change mitigation considering a range of equity principles including responsibility, capability and equality, and (2) what is technically and economically feasible using <a href="https://climateactiontracker.org/methodology/cat-rating-methodology/modelled-domestic-pathways/">modelled domestic pathways</a> which in absence of a better method are based on global least-cost climate change mitigation.</p><p data-block-key="dos06">Comparing a country’s fair share ranges and modelled domestic pathways provides insights into which governments should provide climate finance and which should receive it.
