Japan GHG emissions and pathway to net zero (base year 2013)

Japan’s GHG emission reduction targets are for 60% by 2035 and 73% by 2040 (relative to FY2013). These targets fall short of the IPCC’s median global emission pathway consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C, which requires a 66% reduction by 2035, and are less ambitious than Japan’s own 1.5°C scenario, which calls for a 77% reduction by 2035 and 88% by 2040.
