Creating a sustainable society is a common mission for universities that are required to contribute to society as well as education and research as a higher education institution.Therefore, in the "Renewable Energy University League", university organizations in Japan, faculty members / students of universities, and related persons who have knowledge, etc., share knowledge, network, mutual study, human resource development, and exchange with overseas universities. In order to promote the utilization of natural energy and increase the number of universities aiming for 100% natural energy, we will widely call for the purpose of its establishment in Japan and overseas.
By utilizing and researching the abundant renewable energy resources that exist in Japan with the aim of achieving the goals of the participating universities, it is possible to transform society into a regional decentralized energy supply system.In addition, the cooperation of universities with the same intention will affect other entities such as companies, local governments, public institutions, and NGOs, and each entity that constitutes society will work toward a sustainable decarbonized society. By doing so, I believe that society will change.
Furthermore, through the process of achieving 100% renewable energy at each participating university, we aim to develop human resources who will lead a sustainable decarbonized society and contribute to solving global issues.
