Seminar abstract

As the world accelerates its efforts to achieve a decarbonised society, there is a growing interest in how cities, as the foundation for society and economy, are tackling climate change.
This side-event aimed to boost the work done by cities in their quest for net zero emissions. Representatives from various cities and related organisations both in Japan, Asia and the world will be invited to share advanced cases and discuss necessary measures to strengthen city-to-city cooperation, such as local decarbonization domino effect. The Japanese government will enhance the city to city cooperation in collaboration with third countries and a global regional decarbonization initiative in collaboration with the United States. This side event will also introduce the new initiative.
