Japan plans to establish the Japan GHG Center, a hub aimed at making greenhouse gas data and research findings more accessible to policymakers, businesses, and the public. The center, a collaborative effort between the National Institute for Environmental Studies, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and other institutions, will provide a centralized platform for greenhouse gas observation data and analysis, which have been scattered across various government agencies and institutions.
Hiroshi Tanimoto, director of the Earth System Division at the National Environmental Institute, emphasized the importance of making this information easily accessible to accelerate efforts in combating global warming. The center aims to support Japan's goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as well as efforts under the Paris climate accord and the work of the U.N. Environment Programme.
