Comparative study on low carbon city development in China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea
2021
Author(s): Li Y, Chen M, Montero D, Abraham B, Jin Z, Akagi J, Kang S
This report analyses and compares the low carbon city policies and practices of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, with the goal of identifying sector-specific and city-specific good practices that may be instructive to researchers and policymakers in the wider NEA region. It examines key national-level carbon mitigation policies and sector-specific actions, reviews both top-down and bottom-up low carbon city policy-design and implementation mechanisms and describes fifteen case studies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions with specific insights. This report will be used in NEA-LCCP information-sharing activities and to promote regional cooperation on low carbon development and climate action.
The WEO 2021 has been designed, exceptionally, as a guidebook to COP26. It spells out clearly what is at stake – what the pledges to reduce emissions made by governments so far mean for the energy sector and the climate. And it makes clear what more needs to be done to move beyond these announced pledges towards a pathway that would have a good chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C and avoiding the worst effects of climate change.
