An article “Advancing the SDGs and Accelerating Climate Action Through the Joint Crediting Mechanism” on the IISD SDG Knowledge Hub.

The article explains the outline of JCM, and not only as the function and efforts for the countermeasure of climate change, but also the aspect of creating co-benefits through JCM projects that contribute to the sustainable society of partner countries since its inception in 2013 with the viewpoint of contribution to SDGs.

It also describes activities to promote the countermeasure of climate change and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs through further efforts of the scheme, including the JCM Global Partnership launched in 2020.

The outline is as described below:

• Since its inception in 2013, Japan’s Joint Crediting Mechanism has been aiding partner countries in reducing their emissions through the diffusion of decarbonizing technologies, products, systems, services, and infrastructure that enable implementation of mitigation actions in partner countries, while promoting sustainable development.
• In addition to facilitating climate action, JCM projects generate a range of co-benefits across the SDG spectrum, and help realize a blueprint for a sustainable society.
• Better understanding of the interlinkages between the JCM and the SDGs can accelerate the Mechanism’s further contribution towards the Goals and the Paris Agreement through JCM project implementation.
