1. Partnership to Strengthen Transparency
for Co-Innovation (PaSTI)
2. Initiative on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management(IFL)1. Partnership to Strengthen Transparency
for Co-Innovation (PaSTI)
under the Japan ASEAN Climate Change Action Agenda 2.0 (ASEAN Summit, Oct 2022)“Japan ASEAN Climate Change Agenda” wasdeveloped in 2017 based on Japan ASEAN
Environmental Cooperation Initiative.
As the program supporting ASEAN toward
decarbonization, 3 pillars for cooperation havebeen recognized.
PaSTI is a flagship project for Transparency pillar.

ASEAN as a group

Paris Agreement

Paris Agreement• Coordinated action in ASEAN forcontribution• Mainstreaming CC in ASEAN integration• NDC updates with higher ambition• CN/Net Zero in 2050-2065（Pledge at COP26）

Domestic legislation

Promoting implementation

Sector-level mitigation/reporting• Targets by line ministries, reporting toCoordination Committee on Climate

Various mitigation program• JCM, LTS with AIM Model

Facility-level MRV• Mandate the private sector reporting• Some mitigation planning requirement.

Guidelines on Facility-level MRV• Harmonized reporting system by
ASEAN members• ASEAN Integration and carbon pricing

Use asrefrigerant

HFCs (Refrigerant) have high
GWP as 100-14,000 times.
In many developing countries,
used refrigerants are simply
released to the atmosphere,without any treatment.
Collection and recovery, recycleand destruction are key actions.
