Efforts to Create an Environment-friendly Water System• Preserve and develop watershed protection forests

Area of Doshi watershed protection forest: 2,873 ha (36% of the area of the village)

• Aggressively introduce renewable energy Small-scale hydroelectric power generation, solar power generation

• Make the most of the natural flow of water and reduce power consumption Doshi River system and Lake Sagami system

• Planned measures to stop leakage, etc.

Yokohama G30 plan

Having set a target of reducing waste 30% in FY2010 (compared to

FY2001), the City of Yokohama worked with residents and businesses

on separating waste and recycling.

<Measures to reduced business waste>

• Stopped collecting used paper that can be recycled

• Inspect garbage at incineration plants

• Introduced an award system for leading companies in waste reduction

• Provided guidance to companies and conducted on-site inspections

Efforts to Reduce Waste

Waste was reduced by more than 43%, exceeded the original target

substantially.

( Especially, business waste was reduced more than 50%.)

Start the fight against global warming by reducing the volume of waste

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to Yokohama’s processing of waste

10% or more by FY2013 (compared to FY2009)

50% or more by FY2025 (compared to FY2009)

Further challenge of the 3Rs

Reduce total amount of waste and resources

3% or more by FY2013 (compared to FY2009)

10% or more by FY2025 (compared to FY2009)

Pursue peace of mind, safety, and stability related to processing waste

Plan period: FY2010 – FY2025

YSCP Vision and ObjectivesAs one of the largest cities in Japan, Yokohama aims to build the ”Next Generation Energy Infrastructure and Social System” that maximizes CO2 reduction in the forefront of innovation. The know-how will be leveraged to deploy abroad as a city-scale infrastructure package.

Increasing need for energy security

Economic development (green innovation)

Cities as center of CO2 emissions

Environmental Model City

Ambitious CO2 reduction target (64,000t-CO2 by 2014)Export overseas as a city scale infrastructure package

Ecological Cities as Economic Cities (Eco2 Cities)-Best Practices in Urban Development and Management-

Yokohama was nominated by the World Bank as one of the first six Eco2 Cities, which display the best global practices for balance of ecological sustainable development and economic urban growth.

Yokohama is highly evaluated for its various practices aiming to develop cities in harmony with the environment and the economy, such as for waste management (G30). The first Eco2 Cities international conference was held in Yokohama in October 2010.

Other Eco2 Cities: Curitiba (Brazil), Stockholm (Sweden), Singapore, Brisbane (Australia), Auckland ( New Zealand)

Promotion of New International Contribution (What is Y-PORT?)

Yokohama Partnership of Resources and Technologies
