Brand new data shows: • 11 cities had renewable energy targets and/or policies (from a global total of over 1,300 cities). This covers 46.3 million people, 40% of the urban population in Japan: o 6 of these cities had 100% renewable target (Fukushima, Kuzumaki, Takarazuka, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Yusuhara). • Japanese cities are global frontrunners in setting net-zero targets1: As of 2020, 103 cities had net-zero targets (up from only 14 in 2019); globally around 800 cities had net-zero targets. • 45 cities in Japan had declared climate emergency by 2020 (up from only 7 in 2019); worldwide 1,852 cities have such a declaration. 2020 Renewable Energy Developments in Japanese Cities City renewable energy commitments and policies • In 2020, in response to Covid-19 pandemic, Tokyo Metropolitan Government created the “Eco-Support 2020 Subsidy and Support Measures Guide”, which lists the subsidy programmes available for households and businesses to invest in energy efficiency, storage and renewable technologies. • In 2019, Tokyo's launched "0 initial cost" subsidy program to support rooftop PV "business models" that provide installation without initial cost.
