And the agreement brings together the cities of Lahti and Kyoto in joined environmental goals. Also the EU and Japan's Economic Partnership Agreement entered into force on 1 February 2019. This historical document removed many obstacles and provided us new ways for cooperation where we can connects different companies and organizations to create new solutions together. Lahti has been successful in moderating and adapting to the climate change and Lahti will be carbon neutral city in 2025. Our ambitious goals can be measured and are decades ahead of the rest of the Europe. A proof of the bold environmental work is the title of European Green Capital 2021. The joint development project of City of Lahti, Lahti Region Development LADEC and LAB University of Applied Sciences has enhanced the cooperation between Finland and Japan and the regions of Kyoto and Lahti. As this mutual report also shows. In this report we share our success stories and learn from our challenges. In addition to versatile cooperation, our countries and cities share the appreciation towards high quality design and wood construction. And we acknowledge our forests as a valuable part of our living environment and recreational activities. Lastly, we share a passion for a greener, more sustainable future. I look forward to continuing this successful cooperation between Lahti and Kyoto. Pekka Timonen Mayor, City of Lahti
