Japan is generally a rainy country with high humidity. [1] Because of its wide range of latitude, [1] seasonal winds and different types of ocean currents, [citation needed] Japan has a variety of climates, with a latitude range of the inhabited islands from 24°N – 46°N, which is comparable to the range between Nova Scotia and The Bahamas in the east coast of North America.

Out of the global GHG emissions, Japan is responsible for 2.6%. The average rate of CO 2 emissions per person in Japan is almost double the global average. [3] Emissions have been slightly reduced since 2013 and the net zero emissions are set by 2050. [3] Japan is one of the largest greenhouse gas polluters, both nationally and per person. [4]
A tropical rainforest climate is a tropical climate sub-type usually found within 10 to 15 degrees latitude of the equator. There are some other areas at higher latitudes, such as Bermuda, the coast of southernmost Florida, United States (Florida Keys), and Okinawa, Japan that fall into the tropical rainforest climate category.
