Poster production for “Environment month” (June) Created with the intention of encouraging stu-dents and staff in university to view environmental issues from a broad perspective and framework3. Presentation at a symposium on the comprehen-sive collaboration agreement for the promotion of a decarbonized society A keynote lecture was given by SUZUKI Yoshiyasu, specially appointed professor at the Research and Development Center for Advanced Smart Technology, Kobe University, on “Approaches to energy-saving control of air conditioning using digital technology.”A workshop was held to discuss specifi c strategies for reducing CO2 emissions based on the findings of a survey of the current state of equipment and facilities and an analysis of energy consumption at all buildings on the Rokkodai Campus of Kobe University. The workshop was held in collaboration with the Kobe University SDGs Promotion Offi ce and the Carbon Neutral Promotion Headquarters, with the participation of the Kobe University Environmental Student Council.The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development states that the textile and fashion industries are the “second-most polluting industries in the world” after the oil industry, due to the fact that they account for 10% of all CO2 emissions. The industry as a whole is trying to take urgent action. We hope that consumers will join in and think about the need to question and work towards realizing sustainable textile products in their ev-eryday lives, which will hopefully lead to positive actions in their daily lives.Kobe University established a “Charter on the environment” on September 26, 2006 and carries out various environmental conservation activ-ities based on its basic philosophy and policies. The environmental and energy saving eff orts of the university are summarized in an annually publicized environmental report.•Basic philosophyAs a world-class center for research and education, Kobe University endeavors to advance initiatives that address two crucial issues of our time: environmental conservation and the creation of a sustainable society.This university is committed to building pathways towards the realization of a sustainable society, something that remains a shared goal for humanity. To do this, we are utilizing the local environment enclosed by mountains and oceans to cultivate capable individuals with an environ-mental awareness. We regularly publicize academic information from the cosmopolitan city of Kobe to the rest of the world and we are leading the way in environmental conservation eff orts.•Basic policies1. Cultivation and support of individuals with a strong environmental awareness A university’s greatest obligation is the cultivation of people. We continuously revise our educational programs in order to foster the devel-opment of individuals who are always conscious of the global environment and the impact of their behavior. By combining knowledge of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, and collaborating with global and local society, we strive to cultivate highly compassionate individuals who possess a thorough understanding of the environment.2. Promotion of research to preserve and manage the global environment It is necessary to consolidate the results of numerous research studies in order to overcome the various challenges facing the world, con-serve the Earth’s environment and create sustainable societies. We promote research into environmental problems in individual fi elds as well as interdisciplinary research that combines related fi elds and strive to disseminate the results both locally and globally. We also support eff orts to produce research results that are strongly connected to advancing international society and local communities.3. Taking a leading role in the promotion of environmental conservation activities Each individual’s behavior is crucial for conserving the Earth’s environment. Through our daily activities, we protect the environment, make effi cient use of energy and natural resources and rigorously manage dangerous substances, thus setting an example as an environmentally conscious campus.
