The Japan Climate Initiative (JCI) is a network of non-state actors in Japan actively taking climate actions towards a decarbonized society. The event started with a message video of 6 JCI members participating in Race To Zero, a global campaign for non-state actors led by UN High Level Climate Champions. In the panel session following the video, JCI company members including companies and investment institutions introduced their own efforts to achieve 1.5 ℃ target to realize the decarbonized society by 2050. In addition, a representative of a youth group who is also a JCI memeber shared their thoughts and why they came to Glasgow for raising their voices for the climate crisis. As a closing remark, Nicolette Bartlet from CDP remarked that it is necessary for all non-state actors as the whole of society to change committments to actions to realize 1.5℃ target. The hall was always full throughout the session, and the participants discussed and shared the importance of tackling climate crisis right now from the perspective of each sector.

During COP26, besides this event, the Japan Climate Initiative (JCI) also joined as speaker events organized by the Alliances for Climate Action, an global network of non-state and subnational actors’ initiatives from nine countries, including JCI, at the U.S. Climate Action Center, a side event venue for U.S. non-state and subnational actors. The JCI members shared their latest efforts in Japan and discussed the importance of coorporation of non-state actors.
