Abstract:
This session provides a platform to share creative ideas from region-specific decarbonization efforts and collaborations with diverse stakeholders, aiming to accelerate action toward 2030.
In the first half, high-level speakers from Japan and abroad will share specific pathways and the latest trends toward achieving decarbonization in their respective regions. In the second half, three students selected by Fukushima Prefecture as “Fukushima Carbon Neutral Ambassadors“ will take the stage. They will present decarbonization initiatives in Fukushima Prefecture and share their perspectives on Fukushima’s present and future from the viewpoint of the next generation.
By bringing together insights from diverse regions and generations, this session will provide an opportunity to explore and shape pathways toward decarbonization together.

HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network!" Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats.
