Abstract

In 2010, the City of Kyoto revised its regulations on climate change mitigation to move towards a more holistic sustainable socio-economic development goal. Kyoto showed an improved framework to realize multiplier effects of all policies and programs grounded on the view of the environment. In the new regulation, Kyoto sets the ambitious goal to reduce the city’s total GHG emissions by 25% by 2020 and 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Although economic growth is anticipated to increase energy demand, Kyoto believes it can achieve this goal with the current level of technology through various measures. That is why we – citizens, businesses, environmental conservation groups and the local government – will pull together to achieve the goals, while spreading the watchword “DO YOU KYOTO?” synonymous with “Do you do something good for the environment?”
