Changing the Era of Climate Crisis! For the Sake of Our Future

Ever year, starting with reoccurring extreme weather events, awareness of climate change is growing. Coal is the main driving force behind climate change. That being so, the “no coal” trend has gained speed and traction around the world, and out of four coal-fired power plant construction plans just outside of Tokyo, three have already been cancelled. However, in Yokosuka city at the mouth of Tokyo Bay, the plan to build a new, large coal-fired plower plant still exists.

To prevent the climate crisis from worsening even further, and to protect our future, coal-fired power plants need to be stopped. At the end of May, a lawsuit was launched appealing for the halt of the construction of the Yokosuka coal-fired power plant.

We are organizing a viewing of the film “Signs from Nature”, which was created by the international environmental NGO 350.org and illustrates the impact of climate change in Japan. Afterwards, we want to think together about what we can do regarding Tokyo Bay’s only remaining coal-fired power plant construction project in Yokosuka.

This event is held only in Japanese.
