[December 2019]
2020 – Olympic and Paralympic Year –

Next year, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Tokyo and other Japanese cities between July and September. Japanese people are looking forward to welcoming athletes and people from all over the world, and enjoying the largest sporting event in the world together with visitors.

The games will be predominantly held in Tokyo. However, the venues are not only in Tokyo, but also in eight other prefectures: Hokkaido, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka.

In addition, as I have noted in the 131th edition of the CLAIR Sydney Newsletter released in January this year, Japan has been implementing the Host Town Initiative across the country. As of 29 November 2019, there are 18 host towns whose partner country is Australia, and 15 host towns whose partner country is New Zealand.

The Japanese people welcome Australians and New Zealanders to the Tokyo 2020 Games and any other occasion across the country. They also hope that the host towns’ ties with Australia and New Zealand will be further strengthened through the many anticipated interactions sparked by the Host Town Initiative.

  •  環境問題への取組を調査するため、7月下旬~8月上旬にかけて滋賀県立彦根工業高等学校の高校生1名および引率者1名がオーストラリアを訪問し、クレアシドニー事務所は、7月29日にはオーストラリアの概要(文化、風習等)についてブリーフィングを実施し、7月31日にはブリスベンの訪問先企業へのアテンド行いました。

    ブリスベンの訪問先においては、カーボンニュートラルの観点から、カギケノリという海藻を用いて畜産動物が排出するメタンガスを減少させる取り組みについての情報を得ることができました。生徒が、将来は自らも環境のための取り組みを実施したいとの思いから、積極的にミーティングに臨んでいる姿が印象的でした。

    当事務所は今回、ブリーフィング及びアテンドのほか、ブリスベンの訪問先企業に対するアポイントメント取得のサポートも行いました。
     クレアシドニー事務所は、今後もオーストラリアでの調査に取り組む日本の自治体の活動を支援していきます。
