# Exploring global trends in "GX, Carbon Neutral, Decarbonization"

How to Decarbonize Airports?

Efforts are underway in various fields to achieve carbon neutrality and a decarbonized society by 2050. Decarbonization of airports is one of these efforts, and decarbonization is urgently needed for airports, which serve as gateways to overseas destinations, in order to ensure their international competitiveness. However, there are many businesses at airports and a wide range of entities implementing initiatives, making it difficult to concretize and execute plans. We spoke to three people involved in the creation of the Ministry of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism 's Airport Decarbonization Promotion Plan Guidelines: Motohiro KIDO, General Manager of the Aviation Planning Section, Aviation Dept. and Takahiro IMAMURA, who works in the same Section; and Yamashita DAIKI, General Manager of the Energy Business Support Section, Green Social Strategy Dept. about the key points in achieving decarbonization of airports.

What is GX (Green Transformation)?

Efforts towards GX are accelerating in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. We spoke with Kumiko KAJII, Chief Technical General Manager and General Project Manager of ESG Sustainable Smart City about what the national and local governments, private companies, and citizens should each do to promote this goal, as well as the current status and challenges of the initiative.
