Green Growth Strategy through Achieving Carbon Neutrality in 2050
Japan’s Green Growth Strategy sets out sector-specific decarbonisation pathways across 14 priority industrial sectors, including steel, chemicals, hydrogen, automotive, and power. It defines technology deployment targets, investment roadmaps, and policy support measures to drive industrial transformation, alongside public–private investment mobilisation and innovation funding (e.g. multi-trillion yen GX and Green Innovation Fund support). The strategy serves as the core framework guiding industrial decarbonisation and economic transformation toward carbon neutrality by 2050.
