The Japanese government considers a climate target that envisages reducing greenhouse gases by 60 percent by 2035 compared to 2013. As the news portal Kyodo News reported on Tuesday, this is what the ministries for the environment and economy proposed at a meeting. The proposal also envisages reductions of 73 percent by 2040. This would be necessary for the country to achieve net zero by 2050. According to Kyodo News, some participants called for even more ambitious reduction targets, while others supported the two ministries’ proposal.
