Overview

Information on emissions, atmospheric and oceanic observations (from ground, aircraft, ship, and satellite platforms), and model simulations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) provide the scientific basis necessary for policy decisions on global climate change. These data have been acquired or created by individual research institutes and universities, as well as operational agencies, but have been independently published by each organization. Therefore, we are planning to establish the Japan Greenhouse Gas Center (provisional), with the aim of accelerating climate change mitigation policy by consolidating scientific information on GHGs and spreading the information both domestically and internationally, so that it can be used for policy decisions and research aimed at reducing GHG emissions, and for the development of private businesses.
