　　　 Professor Shota Emori

 

　Starting with the basics such as the mechanism of global warming and the contents of the Paris Agreement, he explained various research results such as the IPCC in a very easy-to-understand manner.In particular, Dr. Emori said, ``Decarbonization is not a goal that can be achieved by reluctant effort.It requires a ``major transformation'' in society. "This opinion makes sense based on the data you explained to us.During the Q&A session after the lecture," I was shocked to find out that Japan is so far behind the global average in taking measures to combat climate change. ”, “The shift to electric vehicles is progressing at a rapid pace, but how much contribution is expected to be made to decarbonization?”, “Even if Japan makes efforts to reduce emissions on its own, the effect will be negligible. , it is necessary to find and implement effective measures from a global perspective.The key is to introduce renewable energy in less developed countries that lack financial resources.''There were active questions and comments.Regarding global warming, it is important to first put appropriate policies in place, but this was a valuable opportunity for us to reaffirm that this is an urgent issue for individuals and companies as well.
