To contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Tokyo is actively engaging in reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions and putting great emphasis on respecting diversity.
During the U20 Tokyo Mayors Summit in May 2019, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government declared a “Zero Emission Tokyo” goal to contribute to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To achieve this, Tokyo aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% while increasing the use of electricity generated from renewable sources to 50% by 2030. Additionally, the government has been working hard to raise public awareness of a sustainable society.
While the importance of sustainable business events is increasing, many organizers face uncertainty about how to implement specific measures. To address these concerns and challenges, the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau provides the following support and initiatives.
