Tottori Prefecture
Message from the Governor of Tottori Prefecture
Shinji Hirai
The global environment, which underpins our lives and has provided abundant blessings for generations, is now facing a major crisis. Climate change action is an urgent issue that the international community needs to tackle in solidarity, and we need to work for social change towards a sustainable future.
Tottori has set an ambitious target of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% in 2030 (compared to 2013), well above the national target.
The amount of renewable energy generated in the prefecture has exceeded the amount of electricity generated to meet civilian electricity demand, reaching 41.3% of total electricity consumption, and the prefecture has set its insulation performance standard, ‘Tottori Healthy Energy Conservation Housing (NE-ST)’, which exceeds the national energy efficiency standard, and more than 30% of new housing construction starts now meet this standard. In addition, Tottori is also accelerating its efforts to achieve net zero carbon emissions in the future.
Through exchanges and partnerships with ICLEI and national and international local governments, we will continue to strive to create a vibrant and sustainable society and pass on the rich natural environment, including the development of young people who will be responsible for the future.
Overview of Tokyo Metropolitan Government
Tottori Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan to the north, with a coastline of white sand and green pine trees, including the Tottori Sand Dunes, and to the south are the mountains of the Chugoku mountain range, including Mount Daisen, the highest peak in the
Chugoku region. Despite the mountainous terrain, plains are formed in the basin of the three rivers, and Tottori City, Kurayoshi City, and Yonago City are the central cities in the basin, respectively.
Surrounded by rich nature, including the clear blue waters of the Sea of Japan and lush green mountains, the region produces numerous agricultural products, including Tottori 20th Century Pears, and fresh seafood. Symbiosis with nature has given rise to unique new technologies, such as ice-temperature technology, and supports high-value-added industries. Tottori Prefecture has also long been in contact with countries on the other side of the Sea of Japan and has been promoting the development of a base for the Japan Sea Rim era.
Environmental Initiatives
In March 2022, the prefecture revised its basic environmental plan, the Tottori Prefecture Environmental Initiative Plan for the New Reiwa Era, and set an ambitious target of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% in 2030 (compared to 2013).
Tottori Prefecture has also proposed the Tottori Ecology Life Campaign as its vision for the year 2030. The idea is not to save energy by forcing people to endure, but to “shift to a lifestyle that protects the environment and health while living comfortably and wisely” and “to activate the local economy through ‘local production for local consumption of renewable energy’ and ‘technological development’”, and the prefecture has set a friendly nickname ‘TottoReborn!’ to promote awareness of the plan.
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
