As the climate crisis intensifies and bold measures are urgently required to keep below the limit of the 1.5°C temperature rise, the role of non-state actors is becoming increasingly important and movements to establish cross-sectoral organizations have been getting underway. Taking the lead in these global movements, Japan Climate Initiative was established in July 2018 and is today the largest network of non-state actors in Japan committed to working together to drive the transition towards decarbonized and climate resilient societies. Members of JCI consist of a diverse range of actors including many large corporations representing Japan, small and medium-sized enterprises that support local communities, local governments, environmental NGOs, consumer groups, religious organizations and universities. 

Since the establishment of JCI, Renewable Energy Institute, together with WWF Japan and CDP Japan, has supported its activities by serving as the secretariat office and will continue to play an active role in accelerating deployment of renewables and the realization of a decarbonized society.
