Decarbonising Japan whilst honouring the scars of its past, with Kimiko Hirata
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025

Kimiko Hirata shares her vision of a carbon-free Japan, and how shifting from “no” to “yes” is the key to mobilising people and government towards positive change. In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan had the opportunity to keep its commitments to renewable energy, says Goldman Environmental Prize winner and environmental activist Kimiko. Instead Japan closed its nuclear sites and went all in on coal power plants and stands as the country with the fifth most coal power plants in the world. Kimiko joins Climate Curious to share why positive action is more powerful than negative narratives in decarbonising a nation. Recorded live at TED Countdown 2025 in conversation with Climate Curious co-host Ben Hurst.Buy your ticket to join TEDxLondon Global Idea Search, November 24th: https://tedxlondon.com/tedx-global-idea-search/Join the Climate Curious conversation on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/climatecuriouspod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@climatecuriouspod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtF6xzNkVIczlDmVcH8FCMA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/10996041/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TEDxLondon Website: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/ All other links: https://linktr.ee/climatecuriouspod Created by TEDxLondonExecutive produced by Josie ColterProduced by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Deesha ChandraHosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben HurstCommunications by Tara Cooper and Issey Gladston Hosted on Acast.
