Description of measure

Tokyo “Beyond-Zero” Week features six leading international conferences organised and hosted by Japan (ICEF2020, RD20, TCFD summit 2020, LNG Producer-Consumer Conference 2020, International Conference on Carbon Recycling 2020, Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting 2020). Each conference offers a forum for high-level discussions about the key innovations required to build a global roadmap to carbon neutrality and find pathways to go “beyond zero”—namely reducing the levels of CO2 emissions already in the atmosphere. Led by Kajiyama Hiroshi, Japan’s Minister of Economy Trade & Industry (METI), participants are set to include ministerial-level government representatives from the United States, Europe, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), leaders from national research institutes, as well as leading innovators from academia and industry.
