TOKYO, October 13, 2026 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) TOKYO, October 13, 2026 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will participate in COP31, the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to be held in Antalya, Turkey from November 9 through November 20, following its selection by Ministry of Environment, Japan. Under the theme of "Supporting Decarbonization and the Energy Transition through Satellite GHG1 Data," Mitsubishi Electric will exhibit at the Japan Pavilion. The company is also to participate as a speaker in the seminars "Blue Carbon and Ocean-based Solutions for Climate Action" and "Japan Accelerator Network: Decarbonization and Circular Economy in the Built Environment," both at the Japan Pavilion.
Mitsubishi Electric places sustainability at the cornerstone of its management and is accelerating "Trade-On" (mutual benefits) initiatives that balance addressing social challenges and growing its business. Mitsubishi Electric's comprehensive and strategic sustainability initiatives extend beyond existing businesses and organizations to advance technological innovation under the corporate materialities "Realize a sustainable global environment" and "Promote innovation for sustainability."
At the on-site showcase, Mitsubishi Electric will exhibit an initiative to visualize the distribution of greenhouse gases (GHGs) across the globe using satellite data through a joint exhibition with MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Satellite Data Services Co., Ltd., both of which are partners of Mitsubishi Electric in this business.
The seminar "Blue Carbon and Ocean-based Solutions for Climate Action," will bring together multiple experts from industry, government, academia, and the private sector both Japanese and international. It will feature presentations on initiatives and policies being advanced in Japan, as well as information sharing by representatives from other countries and international organizations, and discussion on how to advance climate action. Mitsubishi Electric will introduce its direct ocean capture (DOC) initiative, which is an ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology that captures CO2 from the atmosphere via seawater.
At the seminar "Japan Accelerator Network: Decarbonization and Circular Economy in the Built Environment," organized by the Japan Accelerator Network—a project to be jointly established by Ministry of Environment, Japan and the World Economic Forum in October 2026—several Japanese companies will share their understanding of the challenges involved in achieving decarbonization and a circular economy simultaneously, and discuss future actions.
Through its exhibition and participation in seminars at COP31, Mitsubishi Electric will share its technologies and solutions with stakeholders from around the world—including researchers, governments, international organizations, and companies, exchange views and information with them, and further accelerate its efforts to help realize a sustainable society.
