The Japan Pavilion is organised by Japan's Ministry of the Environment. It presents Japanese environmental technologies, products, services and climate initiatives to governments, local authorities, international organisations, NGOs and companies. Fifteen on-site exhibitors were selected in August 2026 under the theme Solutions to The World. The seminar programme is not yet public. The ministry ran a Japan Pavilion at COP30 in Belém, combining on-site exhibits and seminars with a virtual showcase.
