Japan Rebooted: Climate Change and Energy Innovation

With the adverse effects of climate change ever more evident, it has become imperative to examine the role of energy technology in mitigating those effects. A model for cutting-edge technology innovation, Japan has made significant inroads to remake its energy systems and accelerate its renewable energy efforts as a viable solution for this global challenge.

As global environmental and energy concerns magnify, how can Japan tap into its historically innovative and efficient mindset to meet its goals for a cleaner Earth by 2050? What can Japan learn from Europe, a continent well-established in wind energy, in order to harness the full potential of offshore wind as a possible sustainable solution? What can the rest of the world learn from Japan? How can Japan reinvent solar power to boost its efficiency? And, of course, what does this all mean for the future of nuclear power in Japan? If it should remain a large part of the country’s energy supply, how can it be made safer?

Asia Society New York is proud to present “Japan Rebooted: Climate Change and Energy Innovation”, a program that will bring together distinguished experts and policymakers for in-depth analysis, a look at best practices, and to get the latest intelligence on the role of Japanese energy technology in addressing climate change.
