Japan’s Submission for Talanoa Dialogue
Japan will make the largest contribution towards the long-term targets in the Paris Agreement. As indicated by the latest scientific findings, including those in the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C released this October, the whole world needs to enhance measures to reduce GHG emissions in order to achieve the 2.0-degree target and pursue effort toward the 1.5-degree target. This submission document focuses on “How do we get there” among the three questions raised for the Talanoa Dialogue and introduces the latest measures to reduce GHG emissions towards the medium- to long-term targets under the Paris Agreement. Climate actions are no longer costs, rather, sources of competitiveness. Based on this understanding, a virtuous cycle between the environment and growth and a paradigm shift for technological innovation led by business are important. Japan will foster measures to create innovation in an unconventional new manner and to become a model for the world in the achievement of the virtuous cycle between the environment and growth, taking advantage of its advanced technologies and knowhow.

Submission for Talanoa Dialogue Key Message from Japan - Talanoa JAPAN -
Japan recognizes the importance of addressing the increasing threat of climate change in recent years. In order to achieve the 2 °C goal of the Paris Agreement it is necessary to realize a decarbonized society that balances anthropogenic emissions by sources and removal by sinks of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the second half of this century. Japan has already over-achieved the target of the Cancun Agreements underpinned by a PDCA cycle (The Plan–Do–Check–Act Cycle) within the frame work of the “Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures”, and is steadfastly implementing the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Japan aims for the drastic emission reduction through further practice of energy conservation and maximum usage of renewable energy. Japan is determined to blaze the trail in transformative innovations such as hydrogen energy system and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).
