Efforts and Challenges The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has promoted cooperative efforts by providing financial and technical support to municipalities’ environmental initiatives and sharing information on the initiatives.

As proven by diesel regulations and proposals and requests to the national government, TMG has made efforts in promoting collaboration on initiatives and solving wide-area challenges at broad-based partnership conferences, such as the Environmental Problem Measures Committee of the Nine Local Governments Coalition Summit Conference.

Through the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program, TMG has developed cooperative efforts in CO2 reduction, making credits tradable with Saitama Prefecture.

To prevent improper disposal, such as the illegal dumping of industrial waste, TMG, 11 prefectures, and 20 cities have established the Extensive Liaison Council for Prevention of Improper Disposal of Industrial Waste (commonly known as Industrial Waste Scrum) for the promotion of cooperative efforts.

TMG has joined C40*111 and ICAP*112, which are groups of cities making pioneering efforts in climate change measures, to promote cooperation with cities around the world.

At international conferences and other occasions, TMG has presented its leading climate change measures, such as the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program and energy efficiency measures for buildings.

In conjunction with cities in Asia, such as Beijing, Seoul, and Bangkok, TMG has held workshops and exchanged officials in the fields of waste management and air quality.

Broad-based cooperation between municipalities

Through the cooperation in the framework of the nine local governments coalition in the Kanto district, TMG will raise awareness of residents by conducting joint campaigns featuring issues closely associated with the daily life of residents. We will develop the efforts into more tangible ones that involve businesses and residents.

To enable a quick response to a wide variety of challenges that include new fields, TMG will promote joint efforts, such as appealing to the national government and provision of information.

Cooperation with citizens, businesses, and NGOs/NPOs

TMG will promote further collaboration and cooperation with each participant, by strengthening the cooperation with citizens and NGOs/NPOs and, for the collaboration with businesses in particular, by developing advanced, environmentally conscious efforts in measures for climate change or waste.

TMG will expand the examination of and efforts in building new programs through model projects or verification in cooperation with pioneering businesses already working on food losses or native species planting.

To control the amount of waste generated by consumers, it is indispensable to collaborate and cooperate with citizens and NGOs/NPOs. TMG will continue enhancing cooperation to raise awareness and foster motivation.

TMG will continue activities in cooperation with businesses, NGOs/NPOs, and volunteer organizations, such as Tokyo Greenship Action taking advantage of conservation areas and nature experience events led by the private sector held on TMG-owned land in Hachioji City.

Through the effective use of the Forests Green Spaces Conservation Activities Information Center, TMG will provide programs to encourage citizens less familiar with nature to participate in natural environment activities and make ongoing efforts.

TMG had allocated funds raised by the program Fund-raising for Greenery in Tokyo to efforts to increase visible greenery, but will restyle the program to the Fund-raising for Flowers and Greenery in Tokyo to use the funds more broadly for efforts to plant, grow, protect and display flowers and greenery.

Topic What is ESD?ESD stands for Education for Sustainable Development.The world is filled with a variety of challenges: the environment, poverty, human rights, peace, and development. ESD represents learning and activities that aim to generate a new sense of values and actions to solve these challenges in modern society and create a sustainable society based on the values and actions by helping you to personally take on these challenges.In short, ESD is education to groom those who will eventually take on leadership roles in creating a sustainable society.

International trends surrounding ESDProposed by the Japanese government and Japanese NGOs, based on the latter’s suggestion, at the Johannesburg Summit 2002, UN Decade of ESD started in 2005 after a UN resolution.Since the completion of UN Decade of ESD, the philosophy of ESD has been incorporated into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), becoming increasingly important.
