Objective:

Climate change mitigation policy is accelerating globally, and it is receiving great attention as one of the central policy issues at the G20 Osaka summit in June.

In April, the Japanese government released a proposal for its mid-century strategy under the Paris Agreement, and the policy debate is shifting toward how to mainstream renewables, discontinuous innovations, and net-zero and possibly negative emissions in 2050 and beyond.

In this symposium, we invite leading researchers working on energy scenarios in Japan to discuss climate change mitigation for 2050 and beyond from diverse perspectives.
