This exhibition has ended.
Thank you very much for coming to our exhibition.
From Wednesday, March 3, to Tuesday, March 23, 2021, the Ministry of the Environment will be holding “Virtual Japan Pavilion - Innovation for 2050 net-zero,” an online exhibition sharing Japan’s environmental technological strengths and environmental initiatives with people in Japan and around the world.
In October 2020, Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide declared that Japan will aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050, that is, to realize a carbon-neutral, decarbonized society. To achieve a carbon-neutral, decarbonized society, technological innovation is required in every aspect. The exhibits at this pavilion explain some of the current technologies and initiatives of the companies that are striving to produce the innovations that will decarbonize Japan.
* Some international conferences related to climate change are planned for March, including the Asia-Pacific Seminar on Climate Change, the Zero Carbon City International Forum, and the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum. The goal of this pavilion is to take this opportunity to share information about Japan’s climate change technologies and efforts.
* This exhibition is being conducted for the purposes of technical preparation and pilot testing of the virtual pavilion that will be held at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).
