Overview
Nishimura Yasutoshi
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry
“Countermeasures to climate change are no longer a constraint to economic growth, but a driving force for further prosperity. Challenges toward carbon neutrality are key in galvanizing innovation and increasing business chances. Carbon neutrality is not an easy task, and it will require effort from the entire nation. We must set ambitious goals and visions, and industry, government, and academia must work together earnestly to achieve them. We will pursue strategic partnerships with each government to contribute to global decarbonization by creating innovations for realizing carbon neutrality.”
