    Making our iconic city skylines better for the planet

    February 20, 2017

    Through C40’s Private Building Efficiency Network, cities work together to improve the energy efficiency of existing commercial and residential buildings. In 2014 several cities, led by Tokyo, developed the report Urban Efficiency: a global survey of building energy efficiency policies in cities. The report incorporated best practices from around the world, including financial incentives, sectoral benchmarking, and building optimisation programmes into city energy plans and roadmaps. Other cities used it as an evidence base to push for the introduction of new, ambitious building energy policies or expand already successful schemes. We hope the next instalment of this report will prove just as valuable.

    Tokyo’s Urban Cap-and-Trade Scheme Delivers Substantial Carbon Reductions

    November 17, 2015 Tokyo

    The Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program (TCTP) implemented on the 1st of April 2010 is the first such scheme in Asia and Japan. The programme is a stepped-up measure of the Tokyo Carbon Reduction Reporting Program that started in April 2002. Under the former reporting programme, eligible facilities were required to annually report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduction plans, and were encouraged to reduce emissions. This initiative resulted in an average reduction in GHG emissions of 2%. By the end of FY2012 the current TCTP reached a total GHG emission reduction of 22% from baseline emissions (2009).

    Nature Conservation Ordinance is Greening Tokyo’s Buildings

    March 18, 2015 Tokyo

    Since 2000, the City of Tokyo has been taking measures to mitigate the impacts of the urban heat island effect, including covering roofs and walls with greenery in order to lower the surface temperature of buildings. To further these efforts, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government passed the Nature Conservation Ordinance in 2001, requiring the greening of building roofs and walls in addition to ground-level greenings for all new construction as well as existing buildings undergoing renovations.
