The IGES will organize an online bilingual (English-Japanese) event, “3rd Kitakyushu SDGs Training: Initiating Decarbonized Domino Effect from Kyushu Region, Japan” on the 15th (Tue) March, 15:00-18:00 (JST).

You will learn how the two leading Zero-Carbon Cities from Kyushu region Japan, namely Kitakyushu City (Fukuoka Prefecture) and Goto City (remote islands of Nagasaki Prefecture) are integrating the three pillars of SDGs, environment, economy and society.

 

Both cities are pioneers of the local production and consumption of renewable energy, particularly offshore wind power generation, and stepping up from the pilot phase to large-scale commercial wind farms. Therefore, both cities are expected to initiate the Decarbonized Domino Effect to generate rippling impact to other local regions.

In this event, the local governments and various stakeholders of both cities are invited to speak their strategies and actions on the ground under following thematic sessions: policy of local governments, emerging renewable energy local industries, co-existence with nature. Speakers includes from regional energy companies, wind-power maintenance companies, marine research center, solar panel recycling company, etc.
