Climate Change and Environmental Policy

Young people are the demographic most concerned about climate change in Japan. In the 2021 general election, the CDP and JCP ran on ambitious platforms calling for an end to coal-fired power and a swift transition to 100% renewable energy. The LDP, historically reliant on the coal and utility industries, responded with its "Green Transformation" (GX) plan. While heavily criticized by activists as insufficient, it represents a significant rhetorical shift from the LDP's previous denial and foot-dragging. The youth movement has successfully made climate a non-negotiable issue for any party claiming to be progressive.
