Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: JIVA appears to have limited engagement with climate-related regulations in Japan. Although the association participated in the voluntary low carbon action plan, led by Keidanren in 2018, InfluenceMap has not been able to find recent evidence on JIVA's positions towards, or engagement with, climate change regulation.
