Plenary session: ESG - challenges and opportunities forsustainable development in Russia and Japan
In less than 20 years, the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) concept
has evolved from selected corporate level social responsibility initiatives to a global
phenomenon covering cities and governments. The ESG criteria are the core for sustainable
and responsible investment. They are important to evaluate companies in which investments
may go.
Among others, at the present time the growing importance is given to such aspects if ESC,
as decarburization, including technological transformation to new sources of energy, agro
technologies, and smart cities which include environmental initiatives. The plenary session,
focusing on these three directions of ESG, touches the larger base of ESG.
Topics to be discussed:• How the idea of ESG is implemented in Russia and Japan and on which levels(government, cities, corporations)• What are the stimuli and barriers for application of ESG in respective countries• Which joint efforts of the two countries could be applied in order to promote ESG

Session 1: Decarbonization & ESG
This session will discuss how Russia and Japan can cooperate to create a healthy, ecofriendly society by means of technological, innovative development.
A special attention will be given to the potential of expanding cooperation between large
Japanese companies and Russian small and medium-sized enterprises. The two countries
have complementary strengths in these areas. The new trend in Russia is the growing numberof medium-sized fast developing high tech companies. One of the main directions fordevelopment of such companies is to get broad awareness and worldwide investment on theirscientific and technological capabilities. At the same time, Russia is lacking big technologicalcompanies that would pour more resources in scientific-technological development. In Japan
big companies invest actively resources into R&D, and they may be interested in expanding
cooperation with Russian small and medium enterprises.
Topics to be discussed:• What are the most promising technologies to achieve decarbonization goals in industry• How could regulatory base be developed to help in supporting sustainable development• Where would you see the highest potential for collaboration between Japan and Russia
in moving towards low-carbon hydrogen economy

Session 2: Agro Technologies
The projected growth of population to 10 billion people by 2050 requires an increase in foodproduction by 70%. Modern agriculture is mainly based on high-productive varieties toachieve maximum productivity under conditions of high costs of fertilizers, water, andpesticides. Highly efficient agrosystems are based on the use of monocultures, heavymachinery, energy-intensive methods of tillage, and often the massive use of irrigation.
Despite large efforts, more than 60% of the world's population is still protein deficient.
These challenges have shaped a fundamentally new concept of resource-efficient andsustainable agricultural systems. They include automated indoor systems, including verticaland robotic, regenerative technologies for open ground, waste management and robotizationin livestock and food technologies, plant protein production technologies as an alternative totraditional meat products.
At the same time, agriculture is increasingly seen as a provider of solutions to the climatechange problem. One of them is ‘carbon farming’, i.e. agricultural practices aimed atimproving CO2 sequestration by plants and its conversion into soil organic matter.
The new trends are transforming the face of agribusiness and causing profound changes in
the competitive dynamics of agricultural markets and the global food chain
Topics to be discussed:• How do new agrotechnologies affect competition in global agricultural markets• What type of technologies are critical for creation of resource-efficient and sustainableagricultural systems• How does carbon farming fit into the new agrotechnology landscape• What practices of Russia and Japan would be useful in this respect• What are the barriers for development of modern agrotechnologies• How to decrease food waste

Session 3: Smart Cities as an element of ESG
The concept of smart city was implemented in megacities around the world, including Moscow
in Russia and Tokyo in Japan. The interpretation of this concept may differ from country tocountry but usually a smart city has three key features – it is equipped, united and intelligent.
The importance of developing smart cities is increasing: 54% of the world’s population live incities and this is expected to rise to 66% by 2050. Growing urban population makes morecrucial a need to manage environmental, social and economic sustainability of resources.
A smart city largely relies on information and communication technology, such as Internet ofthings, 5G, AR/VR, machine learning, distributed databases, geo-information technologies
and navigation. The success of a smart city relies also on the relationship between the public
and private sectors as much of the work to create and maintain a data-driven environment
falls outside the local government remit
Topics to be discussed:• Nowadays, which technologies are crucial for development of a smart city; what is thestate of the art and prospects in these areas• What are successful practices of building sustainable smart cities in Japan and Russia• What should be done for improving the sustainability of smart cities from technologicalpoint of view
