What is the Climate Reality Project?

The Climate Reality Project (CRP) is a global initiative tackling climate change. CRP has been raising awareness and disseminating accurate information about climate change and its solutions since its launch in 2006.
As one of its core projects, CRP provides training to empower and engage "Climate Reality Leaders" (volunteers). The worldwide community of Leaders currently totals 53,135 people from 192 countries and regions.

CRP Japan

CRP Japan was established as an official CRP branch in the autumn of 2021. While leveraging the strength of the global network, CRP Japan aims to identify, promote and implement climate change solutions suited to Japan's unique social structure and cultural background.

There are currently 994 leaders in Japan from diverse backgrounds across sectors, including business, government and municipalities, and NGOs. In order to realize a healthy, secure, and vibrant society and environment for all, Leaders are spreading awareness and knowledge about climate change and taking action across Japan.

OUR MISSION

Climate change is not something that will happen "somewhere, someday". It is already affecting communities across the globe, and in Japan we have witnessed an increasing amount of extreme weather and climate-related disasters, including heavy rains, floods and landslides caused by them. Many other issues are also caused or accelerated by climate change, such as increasing cases of heatstroke in summer, higher risks of infectious diseases, food and water crises, threats to biodiversity, and more - all of which severely threaten the health and livelihood of ourselves and future generations.

However, measures to tackle climate change are also accelerating around the world.
Since the Paris Agreement was drafted and signed in 2015, a wide range of actors, such as local governments, NGOs, and businesses have come to play a major role in the fight against climate change. With the release of the 1.5°C Special Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we can also say that the goal of realizing a decarbonized society by 2050 has become a common goal across the world.
However, current measures are still insufficient and not being implemented quickly enough for us to continue living healthy and safe lives. It critical that various actors cooperate with each other in order to tackle this global-scale problem and rapidly promote effective measures.

GLOBAL CAMPAIGN

To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, it is essential to end the era of fossil fuels. We must reduce emissions by 50% by 2030, halt investments and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure, fund a just transition to clean energy, and keep global warming within 1.5°C. At Climate Reality, we are committed to keeping the 1.5 goal alive. To drive this change, The Climate Reality Project is expanding its network of Climate Reality Leaders, empowering them to take action, and advancing progress in the following three key campaign areas.

Reducing Emissions

Campaign1 : Reducing Emissions

Goals: Reach 50% reduction in global emissions from 2010 levels by 2030.; Stopping new fossil fuel and petrochemical projects and shutting down existing infrastructure.

Financing a Just Transition

Campaign2 : Financing a Just Transition

Goals: Move public and private funding rapidly toward financing a just transition to clean energy, with fair and accessible credit for Global South nations.; Eliminate funding for fossil fuel projects.

Strengthening International Cooperation

Campaign3 : Strengthening International Cooperation

Goals: Encourage governments to strengthen their commitments through the COP process and hold them accountable to their pledges.; Reform the COP process to lead to better outcomes.

CLIMATE JUSTICE

The Climate Reality Project is committed to achieving a more just and equitable world (including the activities themselves) towards resolving the climate crisis. The idea of climate justice, which aims to address this inequity and injustice, is also our most important mission.

DEIJ

DEIJ stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice. DEIJ is a set of values we cherish as we engage in climate action as a community comprising members from various backgrounds.
