Planning the G7 Soft Legacy with Sapporo City

In 2023, Sapporo City served as the venue for the G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers’ Meeting, which inspired the launch of the “Co-Creation Project with Youth(若者との共創プロジェクト)” as a study group on global environmental measures and a platform for intergenerational collaboration. This initiative allows youth to express the actions they want to realize in society in order to “Live within one Earth’s System” and connects them to projects involving collaboration among youth, universities, local governments, and businesses.

Working on decarbonization with companies in Shibuya

As the secretariat for General Incorporated Association Shibuya Future Design’s environment working group “Carbon Neutral Urban Design (CNUD),” we introduce the latest information on decarbonization technologies and social systems. In collaboration with Shibuya Ward, we aim ‘Shibuya’ to become the most sustainable city in the world.

Broadcasting from Shibuya Station

We have established a pact with the Shibuya Station Area Management Association to promote “Green Xrossing Shibuya,” aimed at enhancing environmental literacy and facilitating action in the public space in around Shibuya Station. Digital signage in the area displays videos based on educational materials from the United Nations Environment Programme. Our activities focus on communicating environmental issues to a broad audience, shifting Shibuya from a “consumption city” to a “city where sustainability can be experienced.”
