The 4th Kitakyushu SDG Training Programme called for 10 undergraduate and graduate students who were interested in practices related to renewable energy and the integration of the three basic SDG principles: environment, economy, and society. During a five-day visited to trailblazing zero-carbon cities in the Kyushu region, namely, Kitakyushu City (Fukuoka Prefecture) and Goto City (Nagasaki Prefecture), participants learned face-to-face from a diverse range of stakeholders, including local governments, companies, organisations, and fishery associations, about the creation of synergies for the economy and society through on-the-ground projects such as full-scale offshore wind power initiatives.
