TOKYO -- In a step toward achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the Japanese government will set a new, more ambitious reduction goal for 2030 before the next Group of Seven summit in June.
Japan currently aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26% from fiscal 2013 levels by 2030. But this likely will not be enough for the country to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, a goal announced by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in October soon after taking office.
