Towards a global decarbonized society, the Paris Agreement has made it a global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, and it is becoming increasingly important to accurately grasp the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere from various emission sources. In April 2021, Japan also set goals of carbon neutrality by 2050 and a 46% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared to 2013 levels).
The Global Stocktake is a global progress assessment process under the Paris Agreement. It is an important tool for all countries to take collective action to review progress towards achieving the goals and take necessary measures.
NDCs are emission reduction targets set by each country, which show concrete actions to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and emphasize the responsibility of each country.
