Japan, China and Korea collectively account for approx. 30% of global GHG emissions, and have significant technological and financial capacity to reduce these emissions.
Three leading research institutes of the countries (IGES[1], IGS[2], ERI[3]) argue the importance of the collaborative research on climate policy and the necessity to harmonise national climate policies among Japan, China, and Korea in order to achieve 2 degrees in Asia.
In this event, we will discuss the 2 degrees scenario in Asia and policies and financial mechanism necessary to achieve it with a focus put on the establishment of integrated carbon market and the phase out of coal power
