摘要
本文深入探讨了日本实现碳中和愿望的复杂因素。它对日本在这一领域的雄心进行了严格的分析，剖析了其碳减排战略的各个方面，并讨论了日本追求碳中和可能实现的结果。分析是在全球碳减排倡议的更广泛背景下进行的，承认应对气候变化的共同责任。本文认为，鉴于日本对海外化石燃料资源的严重依赖以及克服政策障碍和能源和工业技术革命所带来的复杂挑战，日本能否按时实现减排目标，关键取决于其能否促进深入的国际合作，尤其是与中国的合作。这种合作有可能为日本提供关键资源、技术进步和共享经验，最终为两国更有效的碳减排战略和更可持续的未来铺平道路。

Abstract
This paper delves deeply into the intricate complexities surrounding Japan's aspirations for carbon neutrality. It offers a rigorous analysis of the country's ambitions in this realm, dissecting the various aspects of its carbon reduction strategy and discussing the potential outcomes that could materialize in Japan's pursuit of carbon neutrality. The analysis is conducted within the broader context of global carbon reduction initiatives, acknowledging the shared responsibility in combating climate change. The article argues that, given Japan's significant reliance on overseas fossil fuel resources and the intricate challenges posed by navigating policy hurdles and revolutionizing energy and industrial technologies, the likelihood of Japan meeting its emission reduction targets on schedule hinges crucially on its ability to foster profound international collaboration, particularly with China. Such cooperation holds the potential to provide Japan with access to critical resources, technological advancements, and shared experiences, ultimately paving the way for more effective carbon reduction strategies and a more sustainable future for both nations.
