Climate Policy Engagement Analysis

Climate Policy Engagement Overview: The Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF) appears to be engaging on several climate changes and energy policies. It has increasingly advocated for the nuclear-specific energy transition in Japan, however, their position towards renewables or energy mix in general remain unclear.

Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: Since March 2021, InfluenceMap did not find recent evidence on JAIF’s position on top-line messaging, however recently, in its own media article published in June 2024, JAIF appeared to be unsupportive of dramatic reductions in GHG emissions.

Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: JAIF appears to have no recent engagement with climate-related regulations.

Positioning on Energy Transition: JAIF appears to support energy transition while emphasizing the long-term role of nuclear, however, their position towards other energy mix is unclear. JAIF is a member of advisory committee within Nuclear subcommittee hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan. During the committee held in June 2024 and November 2024, JAIF continued to advocate for the long-term role of nuclear power in the energy mix, and asked to clarify the role of nuclear power in the upcoming 7th Strategic Energy Plan. However, it is unclear as to how it sees nuclear role with regards to a full transition towards a zero-emission energy system. At the same time, some negative positions are found in the media article JAIF publishes. In the media article published in March 2024, it appeared to advocate for the continuous role of coal in the power generation. In the July 2024 article, it appeared to advocate for the continuous role of Ice vehicles over rapid electrification of light-duly vehicles.
