Project Purpose

Race to Zero, sponsored by the United Nations, is an initiative launched in 2020 to take rigorous and rapid action to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 at the latest. Our university joined in 2021 and declared that it would aim for net-zero by 2040. Many companies, cities, financial institutions, educational institutions, medical institutions, etc. around the world have made this declaration, but all organizations are still exploring how to implement it. This study will consider the formulation of a feasible reduction plan and its measures.
