Historical Context

The JICA Clean City Initiative was launched in 2022 with a kickoff seminar. Annual international seminars have been held each year since (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). The 2025 seminar was held on February 5, 2025. The initiative builds on Japan's decades of waste management legislation, including the Basic Act for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society (2001) and the 2024 Resource Circulation Act.
