In this special program of SDGs x CDG seminar, we have planned a “What to do? Energy for Tomorrow,” a series of six seminars. In addition to the latest topics related to renewable energy, we would like to share information on various options and opinions on energy through lectures from critical perspectives such as domestic and international energy policies and trends including nuclear power, sociology of science and technology (STS), and panel discussions based on these lectures. We would like to share information on various options and opinions on energy through a panel discussion based on these lectures. We hope that this seminar series will provide an opportunity to think about the policies we should take and the measures we should take in the future with regard to energy issues. We hope you will join us.
