Japan to Foster Global Cooperation at the G7
In May 2023, the G7 Summit will be hosted in Hiroshima against the backdrop of a severe global energy crisis and supply chain disruptions that are stoking the fires of inflation, shaking consumer confidence, and threatening the most economically vulnerable in our society. METI will focus on three key policy areas: trade, climate and energy, and digitalization.
Setting the Stage for Green Transformation
If renewable energy production is not doubled by 2030, power outages and energy system disruptions could become everyday affairs. To help the international community rise to what may be this generation’s greatest challenge, and to showcase some of the technologies that will assist the world in meeting it, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) organized Tokyo GX (Green Transformation) Week. The 10-day event ran from September 26 to October 7.
