Overview
Achieving a low-carbon society is an urgent task, not only for Japan but for the entire world. It will be vital that people in all walks of life work to conserve energy and reduce CO2 emissions. COP15 is scheduled to be held in Copenhagen in December of this year and will discuss a "post-Kyoto" framework that will further strengthen the requirement to reduce carbon.
This series of lectures invites five experts to discuss, from their perspectives as leaders in their fields, topics in energy management for society as a whole as it moves to a new energy-conservative, low-CO2 framework. They will report on what is happening in their fields, the issues that are faced and the directions to be taken in the future.
