Yokohama City Environmental Management Plan

The Yokohama City Environmental Management Plan is a plan to comprehensively and systematically promote environmental measures based on the conservation and Creation of the Yokohama City Environment. The history of the Yokohama City Environmental Management Plan began in March 1986 in order to respond to the needs of citizens seeking industrial pollution, urban and living pollution, and a comfortable environment. In response to the enactment of the Basic Environmental Law in November 1993, a basic ordinance on the conservation and creation of the Yokohama City Environment was enacted in 1995. Since then, revisions have been made to address environmental-related laws and diversifying and complex environmental issues, and have continued to this day.
