The convention was held over three days from November 13 to 15, and served as a showcase for a new society based on green innovation, powerfully communicating the image of Yokohama as a sustainable city to the world.

Together with moderator Tove Kinooka (Enteleco Director) and panelists Eric Kawabata (TerraCycle Japan G.K. General Manager) and Eriko Yakushiji (Minato Mirai 21 District Heating and Cooling Co., Ltd.
