Abstract

At COP26, in November 2021, more than 150 countries declared their commitment to carbon neutrality. A decarbonized society has become a common goal in many countries. The Japanese government has declared that it aims to achieve a decarbonized society by 2050. Urban transportation also requires significant reductions in CO₂ emissions, but there is a risk that carbon neutrality cannot be achieved solely through decarbonizing technologies for transportation vehicles and energy sources; therefore, cooperation with cities and society is necessary. This paper discusses the possibility of achieving carbon neutrality in urban transportation in Japan by reviewing 1) the status of vehicle and fuel decarbonization technologies, 2) the possibility of reducing CO₂ emissions through land use policies, and 3) the effects of information communication technologies on transportation behavior based on the literature.

迈向日本碳中和的城市交通系统

在2021年11月举行的COP26上，150多个国家宣布承诺实现碳中和。脱碳社会已成为许多国家的共同目标。日本政府宣布，其目标是到2050年实现脱碳社会。城市交通也需要大幅减少二氧化碳排放，但存在一种风险，即不能仅仅通过交通工具和能源的脱碳技术来实现碳中和;因此，与城市和社会的合作是必要的。本文在文献的基础上，通过回顾1)车辆和燃料脱碳技术的现状，2)通过土地利用政策减少二氧化碳排放的可能性，以及3)信息通信技术对交通行为的影响，讨论了在日本城市交通中实现碳中和的可能性。

期刊介绍： First published in 1977 as an international journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences, IATSS Research has contributed to the dissemination of interdisciplinary wisdom on ideal mobility, particularly in Asia. IATSS Research is an international refereed journal providing a platform for the exchange of scientific findings on transportation and safety across a wide range of academic fields, with particular emphasis on the links between scientific findings and practice in society and cultural contexts. IATSS Research welcomes submission of original research articles and reviews that satisfy the following conditions: 1.Relevant to transportation and safety, and the multiple impacts of transportation systems on security, human health, and the environment. 2.Contains important policy and practical implications based on scientific evidence in the applicable academic field. In addition to welcoming general submissions, IATSS Research occasionally plans and publishes special feature sections and special issues composed of invited articles addressing specific topics.
