Initiatives

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government held the “G-NETS※ Leaders Summit” last month where 34 cities from five continents around the world attended to discuss how to solve common issues faced by cities around the world, focusing on building sustainable societies.

On the 28th, Governor Koike took the stage during the environment session and introduced 3 of Tokyo’s initiatives: the “Cool Biz” campaign she spearheaded back when she was Minister of Environment, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s current “HTT (save, generate, store electricity)” campaign, and the solar power generation equipment mandate for new homes, which will be into effect in 2025.
