This month's historic agreement between India and Japan is more than just a headline, it's a transformative blueprint for global climate action and a massive catalyst for India's green economy. Here’s what you need to know about this game-changing deal.

Over the next decade (2025-2035), Japan will invest an unprecedented ¥10 trillion ($68 billion) into key Indian sectors.

The centerpiece is the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), India’s first bilateral agreement under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. In simple terms, it's a win-win: Japan invests in India's green technology and infrastructure, and in return, earns carbon credits for the emissions reduced.
