Action on environmental problems
Structure the seminar in accordance with the number and interest of students (e.g. personal research, groupwork, study group, visit to facilities etc)
The theme would be, for example, plastic and metal material cycle, renewable energy, local governments’ environmental policy, waste management in developing countries.
In order to solve environmental issues practically, it is necessary to understand the background of the issues and the related stakeholders (people and organizations with direct and indirect interests). In this seminar, we will analyze the essence of issues and the positions of stakeholders through individual research and group work, and seek specific solutions, with the theme of environmental issues that each member is interested in.
In order to deepen the understanding of the issues, it is important not only to search the literature but also to learn on-site (facility tours, hearings, etc.). There is no single correct answer to environmental issues. It is necessary to find a clue to the solution with your own approach. We welcome anyone who wants to engage in research that involves such trial and error.
