This seminar offers some suggestions on the restoration of the urban river called Yamazakigawa river, one of whose sources is Kagamigaike Pond on Higashiyama Campus, back to a river full of nature. First-year undergraduate students taking this seminar face various challenges and, through the process to seek solutions, learn about working and interacting with peers from diverse backgrounds.
At Nagoya University, we are advancing our world-class education, research, and public engagement efforts with sustainable development in mind. Across our operations, the entire university community is working together to reduce energy consumption. Our wide-ranging efforts are receiving a great deal of recognition, resulted in winning five awards, including the Grand Prize for the Global Environment Award and the Energy Conservation Grand Prize, in 2017. The energy conservation and CO2 reduction initiatives that won us the awards are introduced here in special feature articles.

School of Agricultural Sciences "International Student Training Program" and "Overseas Training Program"
The "International Student Training Program" and the "Overseas Training Program" are personnel develop programs introduced to foster future leaders who will be able to play active roles in the field of agricultural sciences on the international stage. These programs enable students to learn not only the importance of agricultural sciences but also international relations and mutual cooperation.

One-Step Production of Hydrogen from Waste
Students interviewed Professor Hibino and Lecturer Nagao from the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, who have been researching next-generation energy sources for the realization of sustainable societies. In the interview, they told the difficulties encountered in their research and the importance of getting involved in different research fields.
■Energy consumptionDue to the operations of newly constructed buildings, etc. on campus, in 2017 our energy consumption increased by 1.2% over the previous year; however, the specificenergy consumption (i.e., the amount of energy consumed in relation to the total area of our buildings and facilities) decreased by 1.7% over this same period.
■CO2 EmissionThough our energy consumption increased by 1.2% over the previous year, CO2 emissions in 2017 was just an increase of 0.6% due to an improvement of electricity CO2 emission factor.
We are working hard to reduce our ecological footprint by collecting and analyzing data of the environmental impacts of our activities (education, research, and medical services). The figure below shows the input of natural resources and energy and the output of substances of concern for 2017.

The Applied Social System Institute of Asia aims to share with society in a timely manner any findings that could lead to the solutions of problems commonly faced by international societies in Asia and beyond. "Sustainable Development with Realization of a Carbon-Free Society," one of the research themes of the Division of Environments, is introduced here.
As a part of our public relations campaigns, in 2016 we started to seek artwork to be used for the cover of the Nagoya University Environmental Report with the expectation that readers will be inspired to reflect further on environmental issues.

Revealing Evolution and Ecology of LifeThe Ecology Course at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Environmental Studies tackles global environmental issues by striving for a deeper understanding of the natural environment through fieldwork experience and reconsidering the relationship between ecosystems and human society. Students enrolled in the Laboratory present findings in their own research.

It introduces a wide range of environmental activities that seek the realization of more sustainable societies. http://web-honbu.jimu.nagoya-u.ac.jp/fmd/06other/guideline/e_rpt.html
Ensuring the Safety and Functioning of the University in the Event of a Large-Scale Disaster
For Realization of Campus Inclusion of Students with Disabilities
Presented here are the efforts of the Disaster Management Office to minimize damage from a disaster and quickly recover and resume functions of the University. These efforts include university disaster drills to prepare for a large-scale earthquake as well as the preparation of Guidelines for Earthquake Precautionary Measures and BCP (Business Continuity Planning).
Enhanced Safety and Health Education Program
University-wide safety education program has been greatly improved in 2016. It provides a variety of safety education for all members including faculty, staffs and students of our university includingtwice annual safety education week. Biannual safety training for international students is also available.
The Office for Students with Disabilities has created a learning environment that enables students with disabilities to receive equal education alongside students without disabilities. As part of its efforts, the Office has been playing an active role in providing necessary support for disabled students’ study, such as reasonable accommodation and improvement of environment relating to it.
Creating an Environment for Studying Together while Respecting Internationality and IndividualityThe Advising and Counseling Services (ACS) of the International Education and Exchange Center (IEEC) has provided international students and their families with support on matters such ascultural adjustment, and hosted various programs and activities within and outside the University to work and study together while respecting individuality.
Establishment of a Research Base for Gender Studies
The Center for Gender Equality has established a new base facility for research in gender studies that will provide a platform not only for those in the University but also for all people to think about the concept of gender. Here, we note the expansion of the Center’ gender studies and educational activities.
Radiation Measurement Research for Real-World ApplicationsDr. Yuki MORISHITA, alumnus of Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, currently the Japan Atomic Energy Agency researcher, engaged in research and development toward the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Mr. Morishita is playing an active role in the workplace utilizing research methods acquired while a student at the university.
"Clinical Environmental Studies" to Contribute to the Creation of Sustainable Communities "Ideas Worth Spreading" from Nagoya UniversityThe "on-site research training" course is intended for students in the Doctoral Program to devise and suggest measures for Shirakawa Town and Higashi-Shirakawa Village of Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture, to be sustainable. In this course, students grew up through interaction with other students from diverse fields of study and backgrounds as well as members of the local community.
Founded by Nagoya University students in 2013, TEDxNagoyaU has hosted various events to share "ideas worth spreading" with a wider audience. We introduce TEDxNagoyaU's past activities, future challenges, and a summary of their talks so far.
