China, Japan, and Korea promised carbon neutrality. Now we need them to make it happen

Together China, Japan and Korea emitted one third of all global carbon emissions in 2018. In a huge win for the planet, these three countries have recently committed to 100% carbon neutrality by 2050 (Japan and Korea) and 2060 (China). The new commitments are cause for celebration, but the real work is just beginning. Right now we are calling on China, Japan and Korea to develop long-term, concrete plans for how they will meet the targets, including clear timelines for a transition to 100% renewable energy.
