The Connection between Today's Energy System and Climate Climate Change

In this course, we will explore the critical connection between energy and global climate change, as highlighted in the IPCC's latest Assessment Report 6 (AR6). We will examine the present use of fossil fuels and discuss Japan's innovations to mitigate its environmental impacts. The course will then cover the current state of non-carbon nuclear energy, examining both its potential, as well as the challenges it faces within the evolving low-carbon energy landscape. Finally, we learn how pumped storage hydropower technology supports the integration of steady nuclear power generation with the dynamic nature of energy demand.
