Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is heading to the U.N. climate summit saying his country will push strongly for emissions reductions.
Talking to reporters before leaving for Glasgow on November 2, he said: “I hope to show to the international community Japan’s strong determination to achieve carbon neutrality [at home] by 2050 and realise zero emissions across Asia.” The overseas trip is Mr. Kishida’s first since he took office a month ago.
Mr. Kishida is expected to outline Japan’s emissions reduction effort in his speech at the summit. Tokyo announced in April a target of 46% reduction by 2030 from fiscal 2013 levels to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050.
