５０年温室ガスゼロへ行程表　「脱炭素ドミノ」全国拡大―政府

　２０５０年までに温室効果ガスの排出を実質ゼロとする目標の実現に向け、政府が自治体と協力して進める「地域脱炭素ロードマップ」の素案が２４日、分かった。２５年までの今後５年間を「集中期間」と位置付け、既存技術を集中的に投入して脱炭素を達成するモデル地域を複数創出。３０年以降、この先行的な取り組みを広げる「脱炭素ドミノ」を全国で本格的に起こす。
　政府と自治体の関係者らで構成する脱炭素に関する会議を新たに立ち上げ、２５日に初会合を開催。政府が素案を示す。（2020/12/24-10:10）

A draft road map for the central and local governments to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Japan to net zero by 2050 has been worked out, it was learned Thursday.
   According to the draft, existing technologies will be introduced intensively to realize decarbonization in several model areas planned to be created in the next five years through 2025, which will be regarded as an "intensive period."
   The central government aims to trigger a "decarbonization domino effect" across the country in 2030 or later, in which progressive approaches taken in the model areas will be spread to other parts of the country.
   A council for the realization of a decarbonized society comprised of central and local government officials will be established. The central government will present the draft road map at the first meeting of the council on Friday.
   The meeting will be joined by Shuichi Abe, governor of the central Japan prefecture of Nagano, and others.
