This plan presents a broad vision of the government’s environment policy based on the Basic Act on the Environment. The plan lays out strategies for Japan to shift from the linear/standard mass production type of socio-economic system to a circular/high value-added type of socio-economic system that is based on renewable resources, such as recycled resources and biomass resources. Through this plan, the Ministry of the Environment seeks to improve the quality of life for citizens by investing in environmental conservation, working towards net-zero GHG emissions, and promoting public-private colllaborations.
