[Key Lecture Topics]

Following amendments to the GX Promotion Act, Japan's domestic emissions trading system officially commenced on April 1, 2026. This system has been designed under Japan’s vision for carbon neutrality and a 'growth-oriented carbon pricing' model that balances environmental and economic goals. Additionally, an increasing number of companies are actively engaging in carbon credit transactions for purposes such as corporate carbon offsetting and integrating credits into their own services. Recently, some companies have even begun participating in project development using the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM).

This seminar will feature Takatsugu Kitajima, an attorney with extensive practical experience in carbon credit transactions, who will provide detailed insights into the domestic emissions trading system, its legal considerations, and broader legal aspects of carbon credit trading.

1. Understanding Carbon Pricing in Japan

2. In-Depth Overview of the Emissions Trading System and Legal Issues

3. Carbon Credit Transactions and Key Legal Considerations
