Analysis of Japan's control of CO2 emissions

By Juan Carlos Gómez Méndez

Based on the fact that the year 2023 was the warmest year on record in the history of the planet (NASA, 12/01/2024), therefore, in fiscal year 2021, total greenhouse gas emissions in Japan amounted to approximately 1.17 billion tons of CO2. This research performed a characterization of the variables CO2 emissions and vehicles in use, a normality test was applied to the data by Shapiro Wilk analysis, a Spearman correlation test resulted in a correlation of r=-0.5823; which means that there is an intermediate correlation between the two variables. Since the value of r is negative, it indicates an inverse relationship between the variables, growth in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other variable. A future projection was made using the least squares model, year by year, from 2024 to 2030, resulting in CO2 emissions of 1123 Mt in 2024 and a decrease in emissions of 1066 Mt by 2030, which continues to jeopardize the global environmental goals of maintaining the global temperature of the planet at less than 1.5 C.
