Amid the accelerating global trend toward financial decarbonization (net-zero finance), the financial industry in Japan and researchers from the National Institute for Environmental Studies and other organizations held a two-day online workshop last November for a frank exchange of views. This report is a summary of that workshop. The workshop enabled financial industry participants, government officials, and researchers to share their respective approaches, concerns, and challenges, and to gain a common understanding of the issues that need to be continued and strengthened in the future. It was agreed that a framework for continued discussion and collaboration will be established to explore specific possibilities in the future.

The planning of this workshop and the compilation of the report was facilitated by the leadership of the core members, including the Director of the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Dr. Kameyama, and the financial side of the project. The report was designed by LUCKY Fountain Ltd., a member of the Future Earth Japan Committee.

An English-language report will be prepared and disseminated internationally.
We welcome your comments and participation in our future efforts.
