How to Balance Renewable Energy and Local Environmental Conservation

School of Human Science and Environment

Associate Professor Naoki Masuhara

Aiming to evaluate synergies and trade-offs among goals, which is one of the characteristics of the SDGs, we are studying the linkages among goals on the subjects of water, energy, and climate change, and researching under what circumstances trade-offs can occur. Conversely, we are proposing policies in Hyogo, Kyoto, and other cities to create synergies that will enable us to resolve issues such as the environment and the economy, and the environment and society.
