Innovation forCool Earth Forum
What's ICEF?
Since 2014, every year the Government of Japan has hosted the Innovation for Cool Earth Forum
(ICEF), gathering international leading figures tackling climate change through technological
innovation in Tokyo, Japan. Initiated by Japan’s former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, ICEF brings the
world’s best minds together to solve the 21st century’s greatest environmental challenges.
ICEF’s mission is to nurture discussion and collaboration among participants and to disseminate
innovations in energy and environmental technology to participants and beyond.
A distinguished steering committee from around the world ensures that the Program addresses drivers
of change based on a sound evidence basis. Participants are invited from private sectors, academia
and governments to challenge and inform each other with their expertise and listen to distinguished
speakers discuss the latest developments in social and technological innovation.
The conference is a great opportunity to meet committed and diverse range of high-level participants
and the place to learn about the latest technological innovation from Japan and around the world.
