12. German-Japanese Environment and Energy Dialogue Forum

At COP 26 in Glasgow, strategies and roadmaps have been discussed to make the global economy GHG neutral by middle of this century. As technological and innovation leaders, Germany and Japan are heading the global ‘race to zero’. The German-Japanese Environment and Energy Dialogue Forum (EEDF) has functioned as a platform for intensive exchange and discussion among stakeholders from politics, industry and academia in both countries on key environment and energy related issues. This time, the 12th edition of the EEDF will focus on the role of cities and municipalities on the way to ‘net zero’.

More than 90% of the population in Japan and 75% of the German population lives in cities. The 12th Environment and Energy Dialogue Forum to be held hybrid at the Japanese-German Center Berlin/ Online on September 6 and 7, 2022 will provide an insight into political measures to support cities on their way to ‚net zero’. Stakeholders from cities and municipalities as well as industry and academia will present examples of concepts, good practice, demonstration projects and innovative technologies in Germany and Japan for smart grids, urban RE and H2 usage, mobility concepts, district heating, urban circular economy etc.

EEDF will be held in German and Japanese with simultaneous interpretation. Participation is free of charge.
