WHAT'S UP Email Newsletter

In order to let the world know about the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's pioneering policies and initiatives, as well as the attractions of Tokyo including its nature and culture, we are regularly issuing and sending an English newsletter to some 70 leading cities overseas and all of the embassies and representative offices in Tokyo.
Through this newsletter, we actively send out information to the world about how Tokyo envisions itself to be and what it is doing to help find solutions to issues facing cities. This will heighten Tokyo's profile in the international community, foster understanding of our city, help bolster our international competitiveness and raise our presence as a city. We will also have this effort lead to more collaborative intercity initiatives to solve the climate crisis and other global-scale issues.
