Asia Society Policy Salon Tokyo is honored to welcome Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on January 20, 2025. Recently reelected to her third term in 2024, Governor Koike continues to demonstrate visionary leadership in shaping Tokyo into a dynamic, sustainable, and globally admired city.

Governor Koike will share her latest initiatives to position Tokyo as a global leader in sustainability. Tokyo has emerged as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship through programs such as SusHi Tech Tokyo, which leverages cutting-edge technology, diverse ideas, and digital expertise to tackle global urban challenges and create a truly sustainable society. Beginning in April 2025, bold climate policies, such as mandating solar panel installations for new detached homes, will set a new standard for green urban development. Tokyo’s booming tourism sector continues to captivate global audiences, celebrating the city’s rich cultural heritage through creative blending of tradition and innovation.

With a remarkable career spanning roles as a journalist, Lower House politician, Defense Minister, and Tokyo Governor, Governor Koike truly is a gamechanger. Asia Society Japan is excited to hear her unparalled insights into fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable metropolis.

Join us for this exclusive opportunity to hear from one of Japan’s most influential leaders as she shares her vision for Tokyo’s next chapter.
