Zero Emission

1.5℃への挑戦

The Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy organizes prioritized fields for TMG and clarifies its 2050 goals.

A Sustainability and Resilience
Strategy pursuing 1.5°C

In light of the fact that efforts toward 2030 are extremely important, we have set 2030 targets and developed

A decarbonization strategy to realize a Tokyo
that serves as a pioneer for the future andcontinues to light the way

2030 Targets + Actions advanced and accelerated to exceed these targets, strongly promoting each initiative.

Six sectors and fourteen policies to promote specific efforts

Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy
We are currently facing a climate crisis as the impacts of climate change have become more serious, including
unprecedented heat and heavy rains.
In response to this crisis TMG had declared that Tokyo would pursue efforts to limit the global averagetemperature increase to 1.5ºC which entails a lower risk and realize a Zero Emission Tokyo that would contributeto achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. In December 2019, we formulated the Zero Emission Tokyo Strategy.
Based on the governor’s “Declaration of Tokyo’s Climate Crisis Action,” we will work with Tokyo’s citizens to standagainst this climate crisis and call for their understanding and cooperation.
