JapaneseEnvironment and Energy
and clean, sustainable energy supply
In response to the increasing occurrence of extreme weather events on a global scale, drastic changes in the Earth's environment, and the large-scale and frequent occurrence of natural disasters, addressing climate change has become a common worldwide issue. In Japan, efforts to make renewable energy the primary source of power are accelerating toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Additionally, challenges related to Green Transformation (GX), which aims for a comprehensive transformation of society, economy, and technology, including the simultaneous achievement of a circular economy and nature-positive initiatives, are being advanced beyond the boundaries of the public and private sectors.
