JASH is pleased to present the Japan Currents Houston Conference, on Friday, February 23, 2024.
In October 2023, Japan and the United States held the second annual Japan-U.S. Energy Security Dialogue (ESD). Building on historic climate investments contained in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Japan’s GX Promotion Act, both countries emphasized the importance of rapidly decarbonizing their economies, in particular through the deployment of clean energy technologies and energy efficiency measures.
The 2024 Japan Currents Houston Conference will provide insight into the current state of Japan’s energy security situation and explore how the strong partnership between Japan and the United States/Texas is driving the clean energy transition.
This conference is made possible with support from The Embassy of Japan in Washington D.C. and the National Association of Japan America Societies (NAJAS).
