[Lecture Overview]

The issue of global warming is an urgent challenge, but it is not easy to balance it with economic growth, and climate change policies in various countries are at a turning point. In Japan, the GX-ETS (Emissions Trading System) targeting major large corporations will commence in April 2026, and various climate change policies will be introduced. These policies are being formulated with consideration for the situations in other countries worldwide. Therefore, it is crucial for companies to advance their measures based on an understanding of the direction of Japan's climate change policies.

This seminar will explain "the detailed design and intended direction of carbon pricing policies, focusing on GX-ETS." Furthermore, companies that cannot achieve their emission reduction targets under GX-ETS on their own will need to procure emission allowances from the emissions trading market or other sources to increase their allowances. We will consider "the possibilities of emissions trading within GX-ETS" and "the necessity of eligible credits outside the system."

Additionally, we will explain the system overview and current market environment of J-Credits, which are eligible credits under GX-ETS, and consider "the future supply potential of J-Credits." Based on these system and market conditions, we will predict "the future levels of carbon pricing (emission allowance prices and environmental taxes)."
