Launch of the Decarbonization Ekiden Aichi Project

Aichi Prefecture is taking a bold step toward a sustainable future with the launch of the Decarbonization Ekiden Aichi Project, a collaborative initiative between the government and businesses. Starting on April 28, 2025, citizens will engage in various eco-friendly actions through the innovative SPOBY app, designed to visualize individual actions that contribute to decarbonization.

The Power of the SPOBY App

The SPOBY app is not just any app; it transforms ordinary eco-friendly activities into a fun and engaging experience. Users can track their contributions to reducing CO2 emissions by participating in activities like walking, cycling, composting, and other sustainable practices. With advanced AI analytics, the app quantifies these actions in terms of their impact, turning efforts into points that can be exchanged for rewards offered by local businesses.

This initiative recognizes that building a carbon-neutral society isn’t merely a governmental responsibility but also demands active participation from every individual. By harnessing technology, the Decarbonization Ekiden Aichi project aims to create a community where individuals work together towards a common goal: significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Addressing Environmental Challenges

Natural disasters like typhoons and heavy rain have become increasingly common in recent years, highlighting the urgent need for effective climate action. Reducing CO2 emissions is a crucial part of mitigating these environmental issues. This project is not only about immediate actions; it's about our responsibility to future generations. We must ensure that we leave behind a sustainable earth for our children, free from the burden of environmental degradation.

The Decarbonization Ekiden Aichi seeks to foster collective action, rallying communities together towards achieving these transformative goals. It’s an opportunity for Aichi and its citizens to showcase their commitment to sustainability, especially as they prepare for the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya in 2026, promoting
