The study of Japan’s climate diplomacy analyses the key strategies and instruments used by the country to address climate change at the international level. Japan actively contributes to the development of global climate policy through participation in international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, as well as by supporting various initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development. Particular attention is paid to technological innovation, particularly in the field of clean energy technologies and energy efficiency, which have become an important component of Japan’s climate diplomacy. The country also actively engages with other countries, creating platforms for sharing experiences and supporting environmental initiatives. This study highlights Japan’s strategic approaches to climate change and its role in shaping international environmental policy.
