■Environmental Day Nagoya
Based on the collaboration of citizens, businesses and city government, the “Environmental Day Nagoya” started in 2000. It is a participation-practice-model communication event for you to enjoy thinking about the environment. At its 20th time in 2019, under the theme “Connecting, Creating, Future of Nagoya”, a place where one can learn about the environment by interacting across fields, entities and generations will be made in order to reflect on the past, to envision the future of Nagoya, and to consider it to be an opportunity for each and every person to think about what to act now.
