Nagoya University’s Commitment toHarmonious Development of Human Beings and Nature

Michinari Hamaguchi
President of Nagoya University

On behalf of Nagoya University, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all those affected by
the Great East Japan Earthquake. We will continue to go all-out in our efforts to help affected areas andpeople recover as quickly as possible.
In fiscal 2010, in addition to the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan, various weather
anomalies, such as prolonged high temperatures in summer, and natural disasters were experienced
around the world. Furthermore, the 10th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on
Biological Diversity (COP10), held in Nagoya, and other environmental events have prompted urgent
global action to address important environmental issues, such as continuous greenhouse gas reduction,
protection and sustainable use of biological resources, and development of natural energy. In October
2010, Nagoya University revised its environmental policy to clarify its environmental goals and specificactions to be implemented. To fulfill our mission as a major leading university in Japan, and in keepingwith the spirit of our new environmental policy, we have vigorously promoted environment-related
education and research activities as well as various projects including facility upgrades. All constituent
members of our university—students, faculty and staff—have actively been involved in environmental
initiatives, including voluntary campus environment improvement activities (by student circles),university-wide programs to support COP10, and facility-related projects (construction and renovation ofbuildings, replacement with energy-efficient equipment) to achieve the goal of realizing the low-carbon
eco-campus described in the Nagoya University Campus Master Plan 2010. Thanks to concerted anddedicated efforts by all University members, remarkable results have been achieved.
To meet the expectations of our stakeholders and society at large, we will continue our earnest,
university-wide efforts to realize our environmental policy. In the Environmental Report 2011, we will
share with you our environmental commitment as well as the progress and results of our environmental
activities. In closing, I would like to sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement for our
future activities.
September 2011

The Nagoya University Environmental Policy, which had been in effect and remained unchanged since August 2005, was revised in
October 2010 to respond more flexibly to changes in the environment surrounding the University.
The revised Environmental Policy clearly sets forth the basic policies that all related parties of Nagoya University must follow to ensure
more practical environmental activities.

■ Introduction of Educational and Research Activities
Educational and research activities relating to environmental preservation undertaken by Nagoya University are listed in the Environmental
Report 2011 (full version). From among the many educational and research projects, projects related to automobiles have been selected andfeatured in the Report.

■ Results of Action Plan for CO2 Emissions Reduction
In the Nagoya University Campus Master Plan 2010, Nagoya University
announced a combined target of reduced CO2 emissions from the Higashiyama,
Tsurumai and Daiko campuses by more than 20% by 2014 from the 2005 level, as
well as an action plan to achieve that target. (See page 9 of the Environmental
Report 2010.)
In fiscal 2010, the starting year of the action plan, despite a long spell ofscorching heat in summer, CO2 emissions decreased by 10% compared to fiscal
2005, thanks to various new attempts including centralized control of air-conditioning
units in the buildings.

Combined CO2 emissions from Higashiyama,
Tsurumai and Daiko Campuses* The amount of increased CO2 emissions due to the increased area of facilities after 2006 andintroduction of large experimental apparatus is not included.

■ Environmental Policy■ Engineering and Science Building—Super Energy-Saving Building

The fundamental principles of scholarly activity for Nagoya University are set down in the Nagoya University Academic Charter. Within theCharter, it is written that “Based on the academic traditions of freedom and generosity, our mission is to contribute to the happiness andwell-being of human beings, through research and education related to humanity, society and nature. The development of civilization and thecurrent activities of human beings will have a great influence on future generations. Therefore, based on our Charter, and in order to fulfill ourrole in society and to contribute to the harmonious development of humanity and nature through research and education that are rich inimaginative power, we hereby set the following fundamental principle and policies of Nagoya University regarding the environment.

In March 2011, the Engineering and Science Building (E & S Building) was completed, which
incorporates various energy-saving features.
The official name of this building is the “Central Building of Graduate School of Engineering/Particles
and the Universe Research Building.” The building houses the Graduate School of Engineering, theDepartment of Architecture of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, and the
Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, to which Dr. Maskawa and Dr.
Kobayashi, Nobel Prize winners in Physics, belong. The E & S Building is a complex research facility
that includes a Nobel Prize exhibition room, lecture rooms, an assembly hall and a library.
The E & S Building incorporates various energy-saving technologies, including LED lighting in theentire building, sun-shading eaves and vertical louvers, rooftop greening, dry mist system, naturalventilation system and earth tubes. The Building meets Class “S” standards of the Comprehensive
Assessment System for Built Environmental Efficiency-Nagoya (CASBEE-Nagoya).
The Environmental Report 2011 introduces Nagoya University’s energy conservation efforts throughfacility improvement, featuring the E & S Building with a number of innovative energy-saving features.

1 Fundamental Principle
Recognizing that human beings have created a vast diversity of cultures and values, we will, for the benefit of future generations,consider which aspects should be truly respected, and contribute to the realization of a society that can maintain such traditions andvalues.

2 Basic Policies
Basic Position(1) In order to investigate the causes of environmental problems, and find suitable means for dealing with them, all academic fields willdevelop educational and research programs that aim toward sustainable development.
Environmental Management(2) In order to plan further improvements in environmental management, we will (together with related parties) consider what attitudes andactions are necessary for universities, put them into practice, and further pursue them.
Environmental Performance(3) Recognizing (together with related parties) that our own activities involve environmental effects and responsibilities, we will work to findcomprehensive and systematic solutions that will reduce our environmental impact, and enable us to take preventive measures.
Social Responsibility and Environmental Communication(4) With respect to laws and ethics, we will work to enhance trust from local and international communities, by making information
available publicly, and through communication and mutual understanding with related parties.
(Approved by the President on August 1, 2005)(Revised on October 12, 2010)■ Activities to Support the 10th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to
the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10)
In October 2010, the 10th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) was held in
Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. COP10 is one of the largest international conferences on the theme of the environment held in Japan in the firsthalf of this century. Nagoya University undertook various activities and programs to support COP10, including public symposiums and a
Nagoya University Museum special exhibition. The Environmental Report 2011 contains a list of all COP10-related activities and programs
undertaken by the University, from which a joint forum hosted by Nagoya University and the COP10 Support Executive Committee—“COP10
Dialog Forum between Experts and the Local Public”—was selected and featured in the Report.

■ Environmental Circle “Song of Earth”
The Nagoya University Environmental Circle “Song of Earth” was formed in 1994 by a dozen or so
students who were interested in environmental activities. The Circle’s regular activities include weekly
meetings, campus cleaning activities, and study meetings on environmental activities. The Environmental
Report introduces the activities performed by Club members in 2010.
