Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy

2020 Update & ReportTrends in Climate Change - Two Crises Facing the World In the year since the formulation of the Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy, we have been confronted with two crises: the threat of infectious diseases andthe climate crisis that has become even more serious
 There is a concern about rebound although global CO2 emissions have fallen sharply due to the stagnation of socio-economic activities caused by
COVID-19
The post-corona era should not mean just returning to our previous state—we need to aim for a sustainable society by increasing our
resolve to take actions against the climate crisis, taking into account various changes in society seen during the COVID-19 crisis

1Trends in Climate Change - The Dawn of the Era of Mega-Competition for Decarbonization
 The trend toward a decarbonized society is significantly expanding in the world—the United States and China are making a major
shift to decarbonization as well as European and other countries pushing for a green recovery to “build back better” from the COVID-19
crisis while coping with the climate crisis
 The framework for decarbonization developed by non-state actors, such as cities and businesses, is also expanding while the movement
to decarbonize the entire supply chain or raise funds to promote decarbonization is becoming more active

TIME TO ACT: Now is the Time to Accelerate Effective Actions– Start Actions for “Carbon Half” by 2030 – As the world rapidly moves toward a decarbonized and sustainable society, Tokyo takes responsibility as a major city to accelerate actions
against the climate crisis that has become even more serious, with the perspective of a sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 crisis asshown in the Climate Emergency Declaration: TIME TO ACT The 10 years leading up to 2030 are extremely important for the realization of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Many nations are aiming at
achieving 1.5C consistent pathways set by the IPCC’s Special Report
As a milestone to accelerate actions, TMG has announced “Carbon Half” that will halve GHG emissions by 2030, and isadvocating a new vision of social change, Carbon-Half Style toward 2030
Strengthening five 2030 targets that support the accelerationof actions(Existing targets) Reduction of GHG emissions in Tokyo
compared to 2000
 Reduction of energy consumption in Tokyo
compared to 2000
 Percentage of power generated byrenewable energy Phasing out the sale of new gasoline-onlypassenger cars in Tokyo Phasing out the sale of new gasoline-only
motorcycles in Tokyo

5Realizing a Zero Emission Tokyo Need to ramp up efforts to increase the effectiveness of actions in different policy areas and accelerate the momentum for bold changes
 Ensure a step toward a decarbonized and sustainable city by presenting envisaged key considerations from the perspective of backcasting
to promote the acceleration and progress of social change as well as by encouraging the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Council todiscuss what future measures should be taken
Key considerations to promote the acceleration and progress of social changeTransition to a decarbonized society through a circular economy
 Mainstream circular economy-oriented businesses; support consumers’
circular choice Contribute to the reduction of consumption-based CO2 by prolonging thelife of products and using low-carbon materials

Collaboration with all initiatives/projects of TMG
 Cooperate in a range of policy areas, such as buildings/houses, welfare,
health, transportation, urban development, disaster preparedness, andindustrial initiatives
 Promote the leadership of the entire administration sector (public facilitiesetc.) including TMG

Bold use of digital technology and financing
 Utilize big data, depict/evaluate environmental valuesFurther cooperation with other regions at home and abroad Interchange renewable energy with other regions, create demand forhydrogen in collaboration with other prefectures in the Tokyo metropolitanarea

Human resource development and capacity building to support
decarbonization actions
 Activate the exchange of human resources with expertise in climate change
measures at businesses or local governments

Further fostering momentum to encourage a shift in the behavior ofeach individual Tokyo resident

Our key considerations include making the best use of various policy
approaches and inventiveness in order to move ahead with the efforts shownon the left and achieve social change

Promoting policies through various approaches
 Improve accessibility for Tokyo residents and businesses to decarbonization
actions

 Create an additional mechanism that enables Tokyo residents and businesses to easily
take concrete decarbonization actions together with the administration

 Utilization of incentive-based subsidies

 Utilize subsidy programs that call for active efforts of each entity, including subsidies topromote the development and spread of products that contribute to decarbonization,and subsidies in proportion to the level of efforts

 Promoting policies through sunset/sunrise legislation

 Utilize a method of providing generous preferential treatment and specific support
measures for a limited time to rapidly establish and implement efforts or initiatives insociety, and a means of leading society by presenting in advance what should beinstitutionalized or standardized in the future Others, including the utilization of the public procurement and tax system, encouragement
through institutional or regulatory incentives and disincentives
