Japan’s “Environment Research and Technology Development Fund”, allocated by the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency (ERCA), supports environmental research conducted by universities, research institutes, and other institutions. ERCA promotes research and development in almost all environmental fields, responding to climate change problems, realising a sound material-cycle society, and coexisting with nature. It is vital to support awareness among the youth, who represent future generations, so recent focus has been put on training young researchers about the “climate crisis”, as a step forward in solving the biggest problem facing humankind. This session will review three studies conducted by young researchers (40 years old or younger) who received funding, with the aim of contributing to solutions to climate change and achieving the SDGs. The first enhances the feasibility of lifestyle change and environmental policy by using an innovative integrated evaluation model to evaluate the path to carbon neutrality by 2050. The second study looks at the next-generation energy source of ammonia and proposes an innovative process that simultaneously performs seawater desalination, power generation, and ammonia (fertilizer / energy carrier) synthesis using solar energy of deserts below sea level. The third study is original research supporting the creation of “local SDGs” by local governments, where further SDG expansion is required and promotion of efforts is indispensable.
