DECOKATSU (National Movement for New and Prosperous Lifestyles toward Decarbonization)

We started a national movement to change people's behavior and lifestyles toward the achievement of the 2030 GHG emission reduction target and carbon neutrality in 2050! The movement is named "Decokatsu", combining "DE"carbonization, "ECO", and "Katsu"
(Japanese word for activity and lifestyle)

For the movement, we will show the whole picture and visual examples of new and prosperous lifestyles toward decarbonization and will also support citizens and consumers in shifting to such new lifestyles based on cooperation between the national and local governments, companies and other organizations.
