Japan partnered with India to adopt the Rules of Implementation for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), a bilateral framework designed to support climate mitigation projects and carbon reduction efforts. The mechanism enables cooperation through investment, technology transfer, and capacity building for low-carbon projects. Emission reductions achieved through these projects are quantified and shared as carbon credits between the participating countries. The implementation rules establish a transparent governance structure covering project approval, monitoring, validation, verification, and credit issuance. This collaboration aligns with Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement and strengthens international efforts toward sustainable development and global climate action.
