Background and purpose
In 2015, the world agreed on the Paris Agreement, and 831 local governments in Japan also declared a zero-carbon city (*1) and set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality (*2) by 2050. Shibuya City formulated a basic environmental plan in 2018 and is working to spread awareness of environmental measures for residents.
At Future Design Shibuya, in collaboration with Shibuya Ward's environmental policy, we aim to build a decarbonization promotion model in Shibuya Ward, which is one of the world's leading commercial centers, and to implement new environmental measures in society through industry-government-academia-civil collaboration.
*1 Zero Carbon City Declaration: A statement of policy aimed at making the region carbon neutral by 2050, led by the Ministry of the Environment.
*2 Carbon neutral: Eliminating the actual emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
