In Yokohama City, we are working on the Yokohama Blue Carbon, a global warming countermeasure project that utilizes marine resources. At Yokohama Blue Carbon, we are promoting global warming countermeasures by integrating blue carbon, a carbon that is absorbed and fixed by marine seaweed and seaweed, and blue resources, which utilize energy in the ocean. In addition, the improvement of the attractiveness of the seaside environment through these activities is linked to environmental education as "creating a friendly sea." In addition, we operate Motoichi's original carbon offset system utilizing "blue resources" and "blue carbon".
The 8th Blue Carbon Symposium in Yokohama will be held as a place for credit creators and carbon offset implementers from FY2019 to present their daily thoughts and activities.
Tomoya Nagaoka, Research Laboratory, Marine Environment and Crisis Management Laboratory, National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Policy, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, will give a lecture on "Comprehensive evaluation of environmental value in coastal areas including blue carbon".
