An article published in Energy Policy examines the macroeconomic numbers behind Japan’s greenhouse gas emissions targets, finding that more realistic GDP growth assumptions mean the country has enough potential to reach its nationally determined contributions (NDC) with existing mitigation measures. This result implies that it is rational to enhance mitigation targets under the NDC, so as to promote further mitigation measures aimed towards achieving a decarbonised society around 2050.
