Japan’s contribution toward realization of low carbon growth in East Asia

In December 2009, Japan committed to provide $15 billion up to the end of 2012 to support mitigation andIn December 2009, Japan committed to provide $15 billion up to the end of 2012 to support mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. By December 2012,  Japan achieved $17.6 billion, $10.3 billion of which was provided for East Asia. Japan continues to make contributions, utilizing various schemes such as ODA loan, grant, technical cooperation, OOF and private finance toward realization of low carbon growth in East Asia.
