The forum, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. JST, invites representatives from global cities and international organizations to address the urgent need for decarbonization. By operating as a Town Hall COP, the event functions as a conduit for local governments to feed urban-level climate strategies directly into the UNFCCC framework through ICLEI, which acts as the official focal point for the Local Governments and Municipal Authorities constituency.

Supported by C40 and ICLEI, the program features keynote speeches and panel discussions. The event emphasizes sustainability in practice; the venue will be powered entirely by renewable energy. Interested participants can access the live stream and simultaneous English-Japanese interpretation via the official TIME TO ACT website. This initiative aligns with the broader Tokyo 2050 Strategy, specifically targeting the foundation of a green transformation to reach zero emissions.
