Our activities in Japan

In 2024, we certified the Japanese government’s first PY1.6tn (USD11bn) sovereign Climate Transition Bond under the Climate Bonds Standard. We also advised on an investor’s transition finance framework. 

Our work includes: 

  • Empowering stakeholders with sustainable finance tools, technical assistance, and guidance.
  • Enhancing transition bonds and plans across public and private sectors.
  • Positioning Japan as a global leader in the green transition. 

The Japan Team helps mobilise capital for energy, hard-to-abate industries, and methane-intensive sectors to align with a 1.5°C pathway. 

We provide: 

  • Transformative frameworks, tools, and guidance to accelerate credible transitions.
  • Collaboration with government, industry, and financial institutions to drive impactful investments.
  • Initiatives to enhance the ambition and quality of transition bonds and plans.
