This page explains Japan's Forest Environment Tax and Forest Environment Transfer Tax system, designed to secure stable local funding for forest management to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets under the Paris Agreement and prevent disasters. The Forest Environment Tax is a national tax of 1,000 yen annually levied on residents, with all revenue transferred to prefectures and municipalities as Forest Environment Transfer Tax. Funds support forest management projects tailored to each region's needs. Since FY2020, transfer amounts have been increased ahead of schedule. The page provides annual allocation amounts, implementation case studies, activity status, and disclosure information from local governments.
