Support the rise in car sharing and other shared mobility services (carpooling etc.) over short distances and in zones not covered by public transport and develop tools and infrastructures that facilitate shared mobility: for example, invest in multimodal exchange hubs facilitating public transport and new types of mobility. Support the circular economy and short supply circuits so as to uncouple growth in traffic and freight from GDP. For all new infrastructure projects, take the impact of traffic generated into account in public decision-making in order to achieve a “carbon audit” (construction/use/maintenance) that is coherent with the climate policies. See also the guidelines in chapter 4.1.iv. “Urban planning, development and regional dynamics”.

At the same time, based on Bicycle Use Promotion Act (Law No. 113 of 2016), which clearly states that the degree of dependence on automobiles in transportation should be reduced, it is necessary to promote the use of bicycles by increasing bicycle sharing for commuting purposes. In light of the fact that truck transportation accounts for approx. 80% of domestic freight transportation, and that CO2 emissions from trucks (total of commercial and private use) account for approx. 7% of Japan s total CO2 emissions, it is a challenge to improve the efficiency in freight transportation and to shift to the mode of transportation with a lower CO2 emission intensity. The shipping, aviation, and railway sectors account for approx.

Domestic shipping is responsible for approximately a third of RMI’s fuel consumption. RMI was the only country to explicitly include domestic shipping in its 2025 NDC and has led the way – as the world’s second biggest flag registry – to encourage efforts to decarbonize international shipping at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). 115. There are a number of interventions that RMI can pursue in the short to medium- term to achieve a low-carbon pathway for domestic sea transportation. These include: x changes to ship design; x changes to operations; x fuel switching/mixing; x improved docking facilities to reduce the amount of time (and fuel) required to load and unload ships. 116. These efficiency improvements can also provide economic benefits through avoided costs from fuel imports. 117.
