Blooming for a greener tomorrow: India to anchor global consensus at Yokohama Green Expo 2027
Yokohama, July 3
Green Expo 2027 in Yokohama will bring a big blooming of global consensus for a green society.
The Green Expo will be held in Yokohama City in March 2027. Foreign participants from 75 countries and organisations have declared their cooperation, and the number is expected to increase further. In June, a preparatory meeting was held in Yokohama, inviting domestic and foreign stakeholders.
MAFF Minister Norikazu Suzuki emphasised the purpose and value of the Green Expo. Each participating country cultivates different kinds of flowers. Countries with diverse cultures will gather and establish a circular economy.
The theme of Green Expo 2027 is "Scenery of the Future for Happiness". It means the Green Expo will showcase a happy future.
It implies that the symbiosis of nature, plants, and human beings will establish a clean and happy environment. Especially in the era of climate change, the damage to agricultural and marine products, as well as human health, is serious.
To reduce CO2 emissions, the importance of plants, flowers, and a green environment was shared globally. It will deepen the concept of each country's pavilion.
Indian Embassy First Secretary Naveed Trumboo said, "The Indian pavilion at Yokohama Green Expo 2027 will feature Indian native flowers and plants.
It will attract audiences and send a message to create a circular green society. India is a spearhead of the green society."
More than 75 countries and organisations share the common goal of creating a big blooming of a future happy society at Yokohama Green Expo.

While it's great that India is participating, I hope this isn't just another photo-op for politicians. We need concrete actions back home - more tree plantation drives, cleaner rivers, and less air pollution in our cities. Green expos are wonderful, but the real change happens when we implement these ideas on ground. Still, let's hope this leads to meaningful collaborations.
"Scenery of the Future for Happiness" - what a beautiful theme! 🌿 It's so true that spending time around plants and flowers brings us peace. In our busy Indian cities, we have lost touch with nature. I hope this expo inspires our urban planners to include more green spaces in our cities. Imagine Mumbai or Delhi with more parks and vertical gardens!
Climate change is real and it's hurting our farmers badly. Unseasonal rains, heatwaves, crop failures - we see it every year. Any global effort to reduce CO2 and promote green living is welcome. But I wish more developing countries like India were hosting such expos instead of just participating. We need to lead from the front, not follow.
As someone who grew up in a village surrounded by paddy fields and flower gardens, I feel so nostalgic reading this 🌼. Our traditional knowledge of using neem, tulsi, and other plants for health and environment is priceless. I hope the Indian pavilion at Yokohama showcases this ancient wisdom alongside modern green technology. India has so much to offer!
Great initiative by Japan to host this. I've been to several green expos and they can be truly
