New data names Japan top public financier of fossil fuels
Original: New data reveals Japan is world’s top international public financier of fossil fuels
New data shows Japan is the world's largest provider of international public finance for fossil fuels, surpassing other wealthy nations in funding overseas oil, gas and coal projects through public institutions. Campaigners say the finding undermines Japan's climate commitments and are urging the government to shift this financing toward renewable energy instead.
Why now: The finding clashes with global climate pledges, putting pressure on Japan ahead of international climate discussions.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 2 snapshots from 5 d ago to 5 d ago.
