Government of Japan
All ideas are subject to further consideration and discussion with partner countries

Basic Concept of the JCM
Facilitating diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products,
systems, services, and infrastructure as well as implementation of
mitigation actions, and contributing to sustainable development ofdeveloping countries.
Appropriately evaluating contributions from Japan to GHG emission
reductions or removals in a quantitative manner and use them to achieve
Japan’s emission reduction target.
Contributing to the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC by facilitating global
actions for GHG emission reductions or removals.

The role of the Joint Committee and each Government
The Joint Committee (JC) consists of representatives fromboth Governments.
The JC develops rules and guidelines necessary for the
implementation of the JCM.
The JC determines either to approve or reject the proposed
methodologies, as well as develops JCM methodologies.
The JC designates the third-party entities (TPEs).
The JC decides on whether to register JCM projects whichhave been validated by the TPEs.
Each Government establishes and maintains a registry.
On the basis of notification for issuance of credits by the JC,
each Government issues the notified amount of credits to
its registry.
4

Features of the JCM(1) The JCM starts its operation as a non-tradable credit typemechanism.
(2) Both Governments continue consultation for thetransition to a tradable credit type mechanism and reacha conclusion at the earliest possible timing, taking
account of implementation of the JCM.
(3) The JCM aims for concrete contributions to assisting
adaptation efforts of developing countries after the JCM
is converted to the tradable credit type mechanism.
(4) The JCM covers the period until a possible coming into
effect of a new international framework under the
UNFCCC.

Statement by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the COP21 (Excerpt)

The second component of Japan’s new set of contribution is innovation. The
key to acting against climate change without sacrificing economic growth is thedevelopment of innovative technologies. To illustrate, there are technologies to
produce, store and transport hydrogen towards realizing CO2–free societies, anda next-generation battery to enable an electric car to run 5 times longer than thecurrent level. By next spring Japan will formulate the “Energy and Environment
Innovation Strategy.” Prospective focused areas will be identified and researchand development on them will be strengthened. (snip)
In addition, many of the advanced low-carbon technologies do not generally
promise investment-return to developing countries. Japan will, while loweringburdens of those countries, promote diffusion of advanced low carbon
technologies particularly through implementation of the JCM.

Japan’s INDC (Excerpt)
Japan’s INDC
○ Japan’s INDC towards post-2020 GHG emission reductions is at the level of a reduction of
26.0% by fiscal year (FY) 2030 compared to FY 2013 (25.4% reduction compared to FY 2005)(approximately 1.042 billion t-CO2eq. as 2030 emissions), ensuring consistency with its energy
mix, set as a feasible reduction target by bottom-up calculation with concrete policies, measuresand individual technologies taking into adequate consideration, inter alia, technological and cost
constraints, and set based on the amount of domestic emission reductions and removals
assumed to be obtained. .
Information to facilitate clarity, transparency and understanding○ The JCM is not included as a basis of the bottom-up calculation of Japan’s emission reduction
target, but the amount of emission reductions and removals acquired by Japan under the JCM
will be appropriately counted as Japan’s reduction.
Reference information
GHG emissions and removals
JCM and other international contributions○ Japan establishes and implements the JCM in order both to appropriately evaluate
contributions from Japan to GHG emission reductions or removals in a quantitative manner
achieved through the diffusion of low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, andinfrastructure as well as implementation of mitigation actions in developing countries, and to usethem to achieve Japan’s emission reduction target.
○ Apart from contributions achieved through private-sector based projects, accumulated emission
reductions or removals by FY 2030 through governmental JCM programs to be undertaken
within the government’s annual budget are estimated to be ranging from 50 to 100 million t-CO2.

JCM REDD+ FS by METI
REDD+ FS outline
PurposeFor the purpose of preventing deforestation and forest degradation, which have caused significant emissions of CO2 in many
developing countries, plus additional measures (collectively known as REDD+), this FS intends to examine the feasibility ofconcrete cooperation in cases where Japanese enterprises are undertaking work in related business fields, applicable methods ofmeasuring the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduced and ideal approaches to making other environmental
improvements, while also investigating the potential contributions of Japanese enterprises in the field of REDD+.

Project Description

Projects on REDD+ in developing countries. The details are as follows:
1. To grasp overall conditions of the trends and policies for climate change in the countries and regions that are targets of thisproject (especially REDD+)
2. To consider the possibility of specified cooperation for the project to be implemented after 2016, and the way of financial andother environmental arrangements necessary for realizing the implementation of the project.
3. To examine the applicable method for reducing GHG emissions and to calculate the expected amount of the reduction usingthat method when the project is implemented.
4. To examine the economic and other impacts that will be gained from the project.

Selected Projects in 2015
Partner Country：Vietnam
Operator: Kanematsu, Japan NUS
Description：
Thuy Son, a wood material manufacturer in Ca Mau, Vietnam,
is planning expansion of its production area in natural forest
including peatland. This project suggests protecting the naturalforest and its biodiversity by limiting the expansion.
This may be achieved by improving production efficiency andintroducing higher value products.
Moreover, pellet normally has higher value in the market and by adding pellet production and export to the current business, Thuy
Son will provide job opportunity for the local community. This eventually reduces the risk of cultivation of peatland.

Rules of Procedures for the Joint Committee
Members(Subject to further consideration and discussion with partner countries)

The Joint Committee (JC) consists of representatives from both Governments.
Each Government designates members, which may not exceed [10].
The JC has two Co-chairs to be appointed by each Government (one from the partner country
and the other from Japan). Each Co-Chair can designate an alternate from members of the JC.

Decision making in the JC
The JC meets no less than once a year and decision by the JC is adopted by consensus.
The JC may adopt decisions by electronic means in the following procedure:(a) The proposed decisions are distributed by the Co-Chairs to all members of the JC.
(b) The proposed decision is deemed as adopted when,i) no member of the JC has provided negative assertion within [10] calendar days after
distribution and both Co-Chairs have made affirmative assertion, orii) all members of the JC have made affirmative assertion.
If a negative assertion is made by one of the JC members, the Co-Chairs take into
account the opinion of the member and take appropriate actions.
The JC may hold conference calls to assist making decisions by electronic means.

External assistance
The JC may establish panels and appoint external experts to assist part of its work.

Languages: English Secretariat: The secretariat services the JC.
Confidentiality: Members of the JC, Secretariat, etc. respect confidentiality.
Record of the meeting: The full text of all decisions of the JC is made publicly available.

Basic Concept for Crediting under the JCM(Subject to further consideration and discussion with partner countries)

In the JCM, emission reductions to be credited are defined as thedifference between “reference emissions” and project emissions.
The reference emissions are calculated below business-as-usual(BaU) emissions which represent plausible emissions in providing
the same outputs or service level of the proposed JCM project in thepartner country.
This approach will ensure a net decrease and/or avoidance of GHG
emissions.

39Addendum: ways to realize net reduction(Subject to further consideration and discussion with partner countries)

A net decrease and/or avoidance of GHG emissions can be realized
in alternative way, instead of calculating the reference emissions
below BaU emissions.
Using conservative default values in parameters to calculate projectemissions instead of measuring actual values will lead calculated
project emissions larger than actual project emissions.
This approach will also ensure a net decrease and/or avoidance of
GHG emissions, as well as reduce burdens of monitoring.

JCM Methodology
Key Features of the JCM methodology
The JCM methodologies are designed in such a way that project participants canuse them easily and verifiers can verify the data easily.
In order to reduce monitoring burden, default values are widely used in aconservative manner.
Eligibility criteria clearly defined in the methodology can reduce the risks ofrejection of the projects proposed by project participants.
Eligibility
criteria• A check list will allow easy determination of eligibility of a
proposed project under the JCM and applicability of JCM
methodologies to the project.

Data(parameter)• List of parameters will allow project participants to determine
what data is necessary to calculate GHG emission
reductions/removals with JCM methodologies.
• Default values for specific country and sector are provided
beforehand.

Calculation• Premade spreadsheets will allow GHG emission
reductions/removals to be calculated automatically by inputting
relevant values for parameters, in accordance withmethodologies.

41Basic concept of Eligibility criteria in JCM methodology(Subject to further consideration and discussion with partner countries)

Eligibility criteria in JCM methodologies contain the following:
The requirements for the project to be registered as a JCM project. <Basis for theassessment of validation and registration of a proposed project>
The requirements for the project to be able to apply the JCM methodology. <same as“applicability condition of the methodology” under the CDM>

1. Both Governments determine what technologies, products, etc should be included in theeligibility criteria through the approval process of the JCM methodologies by the Joint
Committee.
2. Project participants can use the list of approved JCM methodologies when applying for
the JCM project registration.
Examples of eligibility criteria 1.
Introduction of xx (products/technologies) whose design efficiency is above xx (e.g.
output/kWh) <Benchmark Approach>
Introduction of xx (specific high efficient products/technologies, such as air conditioner
with inverter, electric vehicles, or PV combined with battery) <Positive List Approach>
Examples of eligibility criteria 2.
Existence of historical data for x year(s)Electricity generation by xx (e.g. PV, wind turbine) connected to the grid
Retrofit of the existing boiler
