Ministry of the Environment Announces Second Call for Proposals for Synergistic JCM Creation Projects under the Bilateral Credit Mechanism Funding Support Program for FY2025
Tokyo, Japan – August 6, 2025 – The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) is pleased to announce the commencement of the second call for proposals for its “Synergistic JCM Creation Projects” as part of the FY2025 Bilateral Credit Mechanism (JCM) Funding Support Program. This initiative aims to foster the creation of projects that deliver enhanced environmental, social, and economic benefits by leveraging the JCM framework.
The announcement, made today at 3:00 PM, marks a significant step in the MOE’s ongoing commitment to promoting climate change mitigation and sustainable development through international cooperation. The JCM is a key mechanism that facilitates the deployment of low-carbon technologies, systems, and infrastructure in partner countries, while also contributing to the achievement of Japan’s greenhouse gas reduction targets.
This second call for proposals specifically targets “Synergistic JCM Creation Projects.” These projects are designed to go beyond the direct emissions reductions associated with the JCM by generating additional co-benefits. These co-benefits can encompass a wide range of positive impacts, including but not limited to:
- Environmental Co-benefits: Such as improved air and water quality, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable resource management.
- Social Co-benefits: Including job creation, poverty reduction, enhanced public health, and improved living standards.
- Economic Co-benefits: Such as increased industrial competitiveness, technological innovation, and the development of new markets.
By focusing on synergy, the MOE seeks to maximize the overall impact of JCM investments, ensuring that supported projects contribute meaningfully to sustainable development goals in both Japan and its partner countries.
Eligible project proponents are encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate a clear and measurable pathway to achieving these synergistic benefits alongside the core JCM objectives. The program is designed to support a diverse range of sectors and technologies that can contribute to low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
The Ministry of the Environment is confident that this second call for proposals will attract innovative and impactful projects that will further strengthen the JCM as a vital tool for global climate action and sustainable growth. Further details regarding the application process, eligibility criteria, and submission guidelines are available on the Ministry of the Environment’s official website.
This initiative underscores Japan’s dedication to working collaboratively with international partners to address the pressing challenges of climate change and build a more sustainable future for all.
