A great race is now on to invent, produce, and deploy green technologies on a massive scale. The IEA October 2023 Energy Outlook noted that renewables would represent 50% of global electricity generation by 2030 (from 30% today) and electric vehicles would increase tenfold. However, this massive change comes with a major corollary. Happening without a global carbon tax, it is instead pushed by governments around the world. It has become a green industrial revolution, in which countries compete against each other for leadership. Many countries understand that the outcomes of these races will decide the competitive order of nations within two decades. This is a battle for dominance of the future economy.

For its parts, Japan has greatly accelerated its green tech policy since 2020 under Prime Minister Suga, followed by the Kishida GX strategy. How does this policy acceleration compare to strategies led by the US, China, the EU, Korea, and others in the Indo-Pacific? What are the drivers and what areas of success and current bottlenecks? In this talk, Park and Tiberghien present a comparative approach the green industrial race and locate Japanese actions and current dilemmas within this larger global race.
