Musashino City

Message from the Mayor of Musashino City 

Yasuhiro Omino

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and natural disasters are becoming more serious in many parts of the world. These phenomena are believed to be caused by global warming and are urgent issues that must be seriously considered and addressed by all mankind.

To achieve the goal of ‘Zero Carbon City 2050’ declared in February 2021, we are promoting joint efforts by the city, citizens, businesses, etc., to combat global warming, and we need to take more leadership than ever before to support the initiatives of citizens and others.

We have been affiliated with and worked with ICLEI Japan since its inception in 1993. We will continue to work with ICLEI to exchange information and create networks to expand the circle of environmental consideration and promote sustainable urban development.

Environmental Initiatives 

Musashino is promoting resource and energy conservation and renewable energy to create a community that coexists with the environment. We are also promoting urban development that considers the natural environment to further enhance the city’s characteristic greenery, and the global impact of the city by creating a recycling-oriented social system that includes water circulation and waste reduction.

In addition to the conventional installation and operation of solar power generation systems, a community energy fusion system based on the Musashino City Energy for Local Consumption Project has been operating since 2020. This is a system that uses the Musashino Clean Center’s waste power generation, which began full-scale operation in 2017, as the core. It links the surrounding public facilities and the city’s 18 elementary and junior high schools in an integrated energy grid throughout the community. 

In November 2020, the Musashino Eco Resort, an environmental awareness facility for all citizens, opened by reusing the office building and platform of the former Musashino Clean Center. The Musashino Eco Resort is expected to play a role as a centre for environmental awareness that deals with a variety of environmental fields.
