In FY2019, the energy consumption decreased by about 0.5%
but the energy consumption per unit (the amount of energy
consumed per floor area of building) increased by about 1.2%
compared to those in the previous fiscal year. This is because
the buildings that are less frequently used were demolishedand excluded from the total floor area of building.

Small algae such as blue-green algae and euglena seen
under a microscope are called microalgae. The fact that theproduction of oil within the microalgae, which is a source ofenergy and chemical raw materials, is orders of magnitude
faster than other plants. We show our efforts in Africa where
we aim to dramaticallyreduce CO2 emission withthe technology of oil extraction
without drying the microalgae.

Aircraft Observation of Typhoons

In situ observation of typhoons using an aircraft has justbegun in Japan. We aim to reduce typhoon disasters byclarifying the structure and intensity of typhoons, which
improves the forecast accuracy of typhoon track and intensity.
We would also like to addressa big issue of how typhoons
change with global warming.

As a part of our campaign of public relations, we have been seeking artwork for the front cover of theNagoya University Environmental Report since FY2016. We hope it provides a chance for readers toconsider of environmental issues (featured on p.60 of the Report). We received a lot of excellent artwork inFY2020. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who applied for the front cover artwork
this year as well as to those who cooperated with the public offering, including the University Co-op.

Prof. Miura of the Graduate School of Law (InternationalRelations) has conducted research on the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) as a whole, rather than thespecific goals. Members of an environmental club “Song ofEarth” interviewed him
about his research andthe significance of SDGs.

The Environmental Report provides an overview of many activities that our students, faculty members,
and staff have carried out on campus in the previous year towards a sustainable society.

Please refer to theWe show a wide range of environmental activities towards a more sustainable society.

Nagoya University views that our initiatives relating to our social responsibilities are also a part of environmental activities in a “broad sense”.

For Living Things andPeople to Live Together

We have been working on “Urban Woodification
Project” since 2009 with the primary goal of"making the future of forests and urban sustainable."
In connection with this goal, we interviewed Prof.
Yamasaki and Erina Kojima, the representativeof the student club MOKKO (3rd year doctoral
student at the Graduate School of Life andAgriculture). They are challenging practicalprojects from the perspective of "responsibility (Featured on p.31-32 of the Report)
and possibility of wood utilization".

Multi-Purpose Bathroom andCenter for Gender Equality

The Nagoya University environmental club“Song of Earth” have activities with the goal of“thinking and practicing various environmental
problems from the students' perspectives.”
We show some of our activities inside andoutside the university, such as cleaning an
artificial pond, my-bottle-contests, greening
activities, and eco-friendly work.

Nagoya University posts a list and layout map(as of August 2019) of multi-purpose
bathroom on the “Higashiyama Campus Map.”
Previously, the Office for Gender Equality(at that time) investigated the installation
status of diaper changing tables and baby
chairs as part of childcare support andrequested the Facilities Department to makethem as standard equipment. As a result, theuniversal design working group was formed with the members of the Office forGender Equality, together with the members of the Ability Support Center,
which introduced perspectives from people with disabilities, international
students, and gender equality. The working group organized workshops andconducted on-site surveys and interviews with the parties concerned, which
resulted in “Nagoya University Campus Universal Design Guideline 2015.”
It follows the establishment of the “Missions and Guidelines for LGBT+-inclusivePractices” in 2018. We promote the environment arrangement that accommodates
diverse members, including the expansion of awareness of the bathroom called“multi-purpose bathroom.”(Featured on p.50 of the Report)(Featured on p.34 of the Report)

Waste Reduction in Drug
Development Research

In order to ensure wearing the protective equipment inresearch activities, the “Guideline for Personal Protective
Equipment on Experiments” (in Japanese and English)
was implemented in FY2019. The guideline was notified
to all the entire university members to promote safety
and health for researchers and international students
who are unfamiliar with Japanese language. We also
encourage them to wear safety goggles by posting
posters, especially to prevent eye injuries.

We show our initiatives to keeping our university
members safe and maintain the university
functions for future natural disasters, including
implementing safety measures from both
hardware and software, maintaining important
university functions, and strengthening
cooperation with the local community.
