EBC briefing: De-carbonisation

Prime Minister Suga announced about a month ago that the country will be carbon-neutral by 2050. The European Commission also made similar declarations when it was newly established in the spring of 2020. On the corporate side, various projects have been launched and several are in the pipeline that will support and make it possible to achieve these targets. The EBC would therefore like to invite you all to its fourth and last briefing of the year on the subject of de-carbonisation. The aim of the webinar is to showcase what some of the most important sectors are doing in this regard. On the governments’ side, we will also hear from the EU Commission, through our friends at the EU Delegation, as well as the Japanese side (TBC).
