In other words, this is Japan&#8217;s last chance to strengthen its climate policy and keep our hopes alive for achieving the common global 1.5\u2103 target.<\/p>\n<p>At the JCAS2024, we took this important opportunity to bring together Japan&#8217;s non-state actors with diverse perspectives to discuss Japan&#8217;s climate change policy, the possibility of expanding renewable energy, and fostering a sense of crisis in each of us.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers included global leaders who promote climate action around the world, as well as leaders and experts from companies, universities, youth groups, media and sports. We had heated discussions about the future of Japan&#8217;s climate change policies and measures.<\/p>\n<p>We expect that these discussions raise awareness of climate change throughout society, invigorate discussion for better policy changes, and serve as an opportunity to further advance our efforts as well as aim to make further rapid progress of JCI&#8217;s activities.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Japan Climate Action Summit 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Date: 2:00PM- 6:00PM JST, Friday, 18 October, 2024<br \/>\nOptions to participate:<br \/>\nOnsite: Main Hall at the Toranomon Hills Forum<br \/>\nAddress: Toranomon Hills Mori Tower 5th Floor, 1-23-3 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-6305<br \/>\nOnline: Zoom webinar.<br \/>\nInterpretation: Japanese-English simultaneous interpretation<br \/>\nParticipation Fee: Free<br \/>\nOrganized by Japan Climate Initiative (JCI\uff09<br \/>\nRegistration: A registration in advance is needed:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Recorded Video (full-length)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The videos for each part can be accessed directly from the \u201cRecorded Video\u201d link in the program below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Japan Climate Action Summit 2024 (18 October, 2024)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tH57g_7f4hM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
