Environment
The Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 is recognized not only as a global effort to combat climate change but also as a "challenge" which will bring new social changes to all humanity. In this respect, there is a possibility that the Paris Agreement might have a large impact on business. Under such circumstances, private-sector corporations, along with national governments and their agencies, are expected to make further efforts to address this "challenge".
JBIC will respond to global environmental problems by promoting growth of developing countries under its environmental operations called "Global action for Reconciling Economic growth and ENvironmental preservation" ("GREEN") and providing various financial instruments to support the overseas deployment of Japan's advanced environmental technology.
