Ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake and the disaster at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Many countries around the world have learned from the lessons of the disaster and taken major steps towards zero nuclear power and the promotion of renewable energy. However, Japan, the country responsible for the accident, has failed to make a decision for zero nuclear power and is lagging far behind the rest of the world.
This conference will inform people in Japan of global trends promoting an energy shift, while also sharing information with people around the world of the current situation and challenges in Japan after the disaster at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Today, COVID-19 pandemic is not only threatening the lives of people around the world, but also exposing them to great mental and economic hardship. Through this online global conference, we will pursue a new model for a post-COVID-19 society. This model is to take into account environmental sustainability and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and pass on hope to future generations.
This event is an opportunity to learn from the world, and apply the lessons of the Fukushima disaster to the global context. We look forward to your participation.
