Nagoya City
Message from the Mayor of Nagoya City
Ichiro Hirosawa
In 2021, Nagoya City formulated the Fourth Nagoya City Environmental Basic Plan, which is the general framework for its environmental policy, and for promoting various initiatives as the ‘SDGs Future City NAGOYA’. The city’s vision for 2030 is ‘A city in harmony with a comfortable urban environment and nature created through partnership’.
In addition, major international conferences such as the Tenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) in 2010, the UNESCO World Conference on ESD in 2014 and the 24th Tripartite Environment Ministers Meeting among Japan, Korea, and China (TEMM24) in 2023 were held in Nagoya City, and in particular, the International Conference of Local Authorities on Biodiversity held in conjunction with COP10 was a success, appreciated to close collaboration with ICLEI.
We will continue to exchange information with local governments in Japan and overseas through ICLEI and promote local environmental conservation efforts.
Overview of Nagoya City
Nagoya City is located in the Nobi Plain in central Honshu, facing the Pacific coast. Although 93% of the city area is urbanized, there are many places where nature can be seen despite being a large city, with a diverse ecosystem formed by the distribution of endemic plants in the hills in the east and the Fujimae Tideland, a Ramsar Wetland, in the south-west of the city.
With a population exceeding 2.3 million, Nagoya functions as the political, economic, and cultural hub of the Chubu region. Nagoya’s history and culture are represented by Atsuta Shrine, the Three Unifiers, and the Owari Tokugawa clan, as well as Nagoya-meshi (local food), characteristics of the food culture, which form the foundation of Nagoya’s charm.
The city is an easy place to live, with high levels of citizen satisfaction in terms of convenience and comfort, including safe and clean tap water, excellent medical services, a highway network, and public transport.
Environmental Initiatives
In July 2019, Nagoya was selected by the Japanese government as an SDG Future City. The city is working to expand the SDGs through ‘Community Development’, which aims to spread the SDGs to the local community and solve local problems through the SDGs, and ‘People Development’ through various learning programs in collaboration with ICT and urban facilities to spread the SDGs to children, who will lead the next generation.
Nagoya City has been selected as a Decarbonization Leading Areas for the ‘Decarbonized Compact City Model Realized in a Redevelopment Area’, which was jointly proposed with Toho Gas Co. and Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co. The proposal is to introduce solar power, small wind power, carbon-neutral gas power generation, and storage batteries in minato AQULS, a large-scale redevelopment area on a former factory site, and a low-carbon model area in the city. By supplying surplus electricity from existing city-owned photovoltaic and waste power generation, the project aims to achieve virtually zero CO2 emissions from electricity consumption by 2030.
Nagoya will continue this Decarbonization Leading Areas initiative and other initiatives to achieve a decarbonized society.
Associate Partnership is available to non-governmental organizations, universities, state and national government agencies and not-for-profit research institutions. The purpose of Associate Partnership is to facilitate dialogues between local governments and these partners, to provide knowledge transfer in line with ICLEI’s Mission and Charter, and an avenue for which partners can support ICLEI’s work and mandate.
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. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor."Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
