| Abstract | The latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report highlight that cities account for approximately 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Urban systems are therefore critical for achieving deep greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and advancing climate-resilient development. Urban areas have the potential to increase resource efficiency and significantly reduce GHG emissions through systemic transitions in infrastructure and urban form, following low-emission development pathways towards net-zero emissions. Japan has submitted its long-term strategy, committing to net-zero emissions by 2050. Based on the Global Warming Prevention Plan, at least 100 leading decarbonisation regions will be selected by 2025 to achieve this goal, with support measures from various government ministries to encourage the social implementation of green transformation. Furthermore, Japan disseminates best practices from local decarbonisation initiatives and promotes capacity building and the implementation of measures in partner countries through international "city-to-city collaboration". Thus far, decarbonisation cooperation has been fostered through inter-city collaboration between 43 cities in 13 countries abroad and 19 cities in Japan. Considering these circumstances, this chapter aims to describe the current situation of smart cities in Japan, focusing on local decarbonisation and international cooperation. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Maciej M.
