Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Monday committed to cutting greenhouse gases to zero on a net basis by 2050 and achieving a carbon-neutral society, a major shift in its position on climate change.

Tokyo had previously said it would achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible in the second half of the century, rather than set an explicit target, and its swing brings it into line with the European Union, which set a carbon neutrality target of 2050 last year.

“We need to change our thinking to the view that taking assertive measures against climate change will lead to changes in industrial structure and the economy that will bring about great growth.” To achieve its goals, Suga said that new solar cells and carbon recycling would be key, and Japan would intensify research and development in those areas, along with digitalising Japanese society - a policy he has pushed since taking over from Shinzo Abe.

Please let us go out of 2020 first and later talk of coming years 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Thanks to Nuc plants.

Too late😑

About the same time it achieves zero covid.

Japan’s government has decided to release over one million tonnes of contaminated water into the sea

At least something is being done. Not like that Guinea pig of rust wannabe president of the US.

Never trust what japan promises. They promised to take care of the nuclear waste but now they're trying to dump it into the ocean. Boycott Tokyo Olympics if they're really doing that!

2050? Way too late.

Pouring millions of gallons of Fukushima's highly radioactive water directly into Japanese seas would seemingly highly endanger everyone that eats seafood from those waterways for the next 300+ years. Japan depends on seafood for protein. Everything else is smoke & mirrors

2050年までいきてるつもり?

Fantastic Japan! If anyone was to do it You can 🙌🏻

Still not fast enough.

“Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden recently proposed a climate and clean energy plan that aims to get the country to net-zero emissions by 2050.”

Making promises is the easy part..

At least he sets realistic goals, unlike a certain presidential candidate who vows to attain zero emissions by 2025...

If it's true, others should also do the same
