Message of Greetings on the Occasion of the Inaugural World Student
Environmental Summit in Kyoto
December, 2008
In 2008, Doshisha University held “The World Student Environmental Summit”in Kyoto, the birth
place of “The Kyoto Protocol”. This was a world first attempt to gather inspired students from around
the world to discuss global environmental issues including environmental and climate changes, realization
of sustainable society and the establishment of a recycling society.
The summit took place at the two campuses of Doshisha University in Kyoto city and Kyo-tanabe city
from June 20th to 22nd, 2008, in which students from many countries were engaged in active discussions
under the theme of “From Kyoto-Possibility Toward the Future”. The students were divided into sub
committees in order to have deeper discussions on more specific topics, such as “Effective technology to
prevent global warming” and “Growing awareness toward the environment and the establishment of
the student network”.
The outcomes of the discussions were summarized into the “Student Proposal”. It states that this student summit adopts the “3C Principal”; ‘Conserve, Create and Collaborate’ as a basic policy, as well
as establishing a student network and collaborating globally without worrying about national interests and
political agendas.
Amid the rapid globalization of the 21st century, we have to be fully aware of the fact that global warming poses serious risks to the environment and our essential recourses,-foods, water and energy supplies
are all in great peril. We strongly believe that universities have to take the initiative to resolve these environmental issues and pave the way toward a more sustainable society for future generations.
Kyoto is an international city, boasting more than 1,200-years of history and tradition. It got global attention by hosting “The 3rd Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” in 1997 to produce the groundbreaking global commitment, “Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” (Kyoto Protocol). We
are sure that this “World Environmental Student Summit in Kyoto” also strongly enhanced the visibility
of Kyoto in the international community. In addition, it was a great opportunity to prove the success of
education focusing on internationalism, which is the philosophy of Doshisha University, established by
Joseph Hardy Neesima in 1875.
In response to the students’ request, in the Student Proposal, to establish the International Student
Environmental Network (ISEN), Doshisha University set up the head office on its campus. The ISEN
head office is committed to fully support the students’ activity to tackle global environmental problems.
We would like to close by expressing our sincerest gratitude to all those who were involved in this summit, including the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the municipal governments of Kyoto prefecture and
Kyoto city, and all the private companies and organizations for their generous supports and donations.
Thank you all very much.

Executive Committee;

ST CATHARINE'S COLLEGE Cambridge CB2 IRL
Greetings from St Catharine's College, Cambridge on the occasion of the‘World Student Environmental Summit’ in Kyoto, June 19-22 2008! We were delighted to accept the invitation of
Doshisha University to send four of our students (two undergraduates and two graduates, covering
a range of disciplines) to this important event, together with two members of our academic staff.
We regard this as an excellent example of the growing collaboration and friendship between our
two institutions of learning.
It is crucial that the leaders of the next generation from both developed and developing nations
are fully engaged with environmental issues, which are critical to the survival of our planet. The
choice of the ancient and beautiful city of Kyoto as the forum for this student debate is an inspired
one and I am sure we are all grateful to our colleagues at Doshisha for providing this opportunity
for international cooperation.
I wish you every success in your discussions, and hope that there will be many similar events
around the world in the coming years.
Professor Dame Jean Thomas DBE FRS FMedSci
Master, St Catharine's College, Cambridge
BRITISH COLUMBIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
It is a great honor to accept your invitation to participate in the World Student Environmental
Summit held at Doshisha University.
In today’s world, the themes of Internationalization and Global Sustainable Development are
both foremost in our minds, t congratulate both Doshisha University and the organizers of the
World Student Environmental Summit on linking these two themes together.
The province of British Columbia is blessed with many natural resources. And our post-secondary institutions, including the BC Institute of Technology, take seriously our responsibility to
safeguard, protect and manage our environment to the utmost extent possible. We do this partly
by providing our students with the skills, knowledge and deeply felt values to steward the environment for our future generations.
By providing this exceptional international forum to exchange ideas related to global warming,
climate action and sustainability, this Summit will surely have a profound impact on our students.
The knowledge that they will gain and the excitement and motivation they will experience will be
invaluable to themselves personally and to BCIT. I am sure this would be the case for al1 the students who participate. Thank you for the vision and commitment demonstrated by Doshisha University for sponsoring this event.
On behalf of BCIT, let me wish you the very best success in this Summit. I am looking forward
to learning more as the Summit progresses as well as deepening an ongoing relationship between
our two institutions.
Sincerely,
Don Wright
President, BCIT

Purpose of the Summit
The Group of Eight summit conference was held in Toyako, Hokkaido in July of 2008. The World Student Environmental Summit in Kyoto took place for three days from June 20 in advance of the G8 summit.
During the summit, university students from eleven different countries united in the ecologically pioneering city of Kyoto, and discussed “Sustainable Development” from the standpoints of global citizens.
There were three subcommittees held in this summit; the first subcommittee debated on new technology
for mitigation of climate change. The second subcommittee discussed worldwide action plans to achieve
“Sustainable Development”. In the third subcommittee, foreign students who have come to study in
Kyoto from all across the globe discussed on environmental issues and enhanced their understandings.
With the cooperation of the Japanese ministry, the outcome of these three subcommittees were presented
to the Toyako summit as a Student Proposal. Our ultimate goal at this summit was for us students, who
are responsible for the next generation, “to propose and deepen our understanding for a better world,
thus individually take initiatives to actually achieve it”.

1st Subcommittee：Subcommittee on technology for prevention of global warming
This subcommittee was meant for students to present their study results or ideas of new technologies
that lead to mitigation of global warming. For example, some of the study contents were how to decrease
our dependence of natural resources by innovation of energy-saving technologies or to reduce
emissions of greenhouse gas by promotion of
alternative energy. Overall, the goal was to
deepen the knowledge of students around the
world to prevent further global warming.
2nd Subcommittee：Subcommittee of enviromental ethic and network foundation
This subcommittee was aimed to discuss what actions can be taken in order for students around the
world to achieve sustainable development. By looking at actual actions that are currently taken globally,
students will come up with their own original
action plan that could be conveyed to society.
Throughout the discussions, each and every participating student realized that they are a global
citizen and feel the need to strive towards
achieving a sustainable society.
3rd Subcommittee: Subcommittee for International Exchange
This subcommittee was aimed for exchange students currenty studying at universities of Kyoto Prefecture to share their opinions about the significance of holding the World Student Summit in Kyoto. Discussions are not carried out as the first and second
subcommittee, but it is a unique subcommittee
where students from diverse backgrounds could
express their thoughts freely and build international relationship.

Online Discussion)(chairman: Cambridge University, England）
6.1
Primary Factor of Climate Change
As stated in the 4th report of IPCC, emission of
greenhouse gas has an effect on climate change.
However, from now on, we must give consideration to other causes of climate change.
（1）In the short-term, nuclear power is important
for reducing greenhouse gas.
（2）There is difficulty in reducing greenhouse
gas only by technology.
（3）Crucial of promoting environmental education
and taking environmental-friendly actions daily.
（4）With new technologies spreading, there is a
need for assessments that evaluate technologies

Before the summit （preparation period）
（1）The draft of the Japanese proposal was completed on time.
（2）From the Online Discussion, we were able to

such as solar energy, wind energy, wave power,
and hydro power.
（2）Use the creation plan of the second generation for bio-fuel generation.
（3）Although it is clean energy, the amount of
power is small.
Points for Improvement
（1）Although this subcommittee was meant to
think about technologies for reducing emissions
of carbon dioxide, not all ideas from each country followed it.
（2）There was difficulty choosing the topic of the

naire form, the number of discussions was not
enough.
（3）We couldn't draw up a proposal that includes
the minority opinions as well.
Also, it will expand the chance of business for
developing countries.

Chapter 2 The First Subcommittee
（1）A strong leadership was taken by the chairman, therefore the discussion went smoothly
and the proposal was put together on time.
（2）It was easy to reach to agreements on the
content of the discussion because we had the
Chapter 2 The First Subcommittee
draft drawn up beforehand.
Points for Improvement
（1）The presentation or statements by the countries where English is the native language, was
too fast to understand.
（2）There were many opinions and topics on
political side/view and not on technology.
8. Conclusion/Summary
（1）We were able to put together the opinions of
participants from different countries, and it was
a valuable experience.
（2）By cooperating together with under graduates and students from different backgrounds,
we were able to acquire communication skills.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are known to be the major cause of climate change, and if
humankind continues to follow its current path, irreversible, catastrophic climate change is inevitable.
During the first World Environmental Student Summit, held in Kyoto in June, 2008, students
from 11 different countries came together to discuss their research and ideas on climate change
mitigation. An alternative future has been discussed and is described in this proposal.
In this alternative future, all citizens will work together towards higher quality of life on earth; people
will not solely focus on economic growth measured by material wealth. Even though economic
growth has brought material prosperity to the few, the majority undoubtedly suffer from many of its
negative by-products such as environmental deterioration. Therefore, we will strongly embrace a
broader concept of development in this alternative future, which will encompass a more sustainable
society, a more reliable climate security system, and a stronger awareness of eco-systems. To do this,
we recognize that it is our responsibility to equitably share our resources, and to consider the environment above personal greed.
To prevent catastrophic climate change and realize the choice of an alternative future, we believe we
must adopt the 3C principle: 'conserve, create and collaborate'.
Conserve: We believe that conservation of energy and resources is essential. The following points
regarding this issue were made:
- Technology has an essential role to play; however, caution must be taken to ensure that all the
potential impacts of new technologies are known before they are implemented (e.g. the problems
which have arisen due to the use of biofuels could have been prevented if the technology was fully
analyzed prior to implementation).
- In order to reduce energy demand, we believe monitoring systems should be utilized. For example,
research into the monitoring of the electric power consumption in buildings has proven to be
successful in Oberlin College campus. Also, greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes can
be estimated using the ‘Greenhouse Gas Emission Information System’ of Yonsei University.

- Although technology can help in the battle against climate change, we believe that the greenhouse
gas emission reductions required to prevent catastrophic climate change cannot be achieved by
technological advancement alone. People must be guided to help them reduce their consumption
by, for example, governmental initiatives and tax schemes.
- We believe that the environmental cost of production, and the value of natural resources that are
being depleted, should be taken into account during the economic costings of energy and consumables.
Universities must set an example to their local community and be proactive in reducing the environmental
burden they are responsible for, by taking initiatives to reduce their energy consumption.
Successful ideas from universities attending the summit include:
- Adopting plans to provide reduced-cost bus pass that would facilitate ridership, and decrease the
number of single-occupancy vehicles arriving and departing university campuses. (University of
Winnipeg, Canada)
- Campaigns to increase bicycle commuting to campuses. (State University of Veliky Novgorod)
- Introducing student networks to encourage environmental business initiatives and make stronger
links to their regional economy through events and consultations. (Doshisha University, Kyoto)
- The implementation of energy and water conservation projects in student communities. (University
of Victoria, Canada)
Create: Creation of new technologies is necessary to realize the alternative future. Low-carbon,
alternative energy sources must meet the energy needs of society. The following points regarding
this were made:
- Mankind must change from a hydrocarbon-based society to an electrically fuelled society.
107

Chapter 4 Student Proposal
World Student Environmental Summit in Kyoto
- At present, there are limited options with regard to alternative energy sources. In the short term,
nuclear power can be used as an energy source. Renewable energy sources such as solar (heating
and PV cells), wind, wave, hydroelectric and ground source heat pumps should also be utilized;
however, they all have spatial limitations and no single renewable energy source could provide a
whole nation’s energy requirement.
- There is much research currently underway around the world, which will help reduce the gap
between energy required and the quantities of green energy available. Technologies such as the
loop tube cooling system (Doshisha University), ground source heat pumps (British Columbia Institution
of Technology), and biofuels from algae (University of Cambridge) are all currently being developed.
Collaborate: It is essential that all the citizens of the world collaborate to solve the problem of
climate change. Our plans for collaboration include these points:
- An international governing body is required to ensure sufficient international cooperation by taking
initiatives and introducing a framework designed to prevent climate change. We urge the G8
summit leaders to listen to the voices of the next generation and strive to implement further actions
to fight against climate change.
- We declare the establishment of the International Student Environmental Network. The goal of the
Network is to be an inspiring part of the change towards the alternative future. The Network will
show the world that tackling environmental issues is an indispensable responsibility of the current
and future generations.
- Continuity must exist for the effective development of the Network, which will be realized through
communication, implementation of action plans, and regular Summits.
Combining expertise and the elements of the 3C principle, students from around the world can and
will address environmental degradation and climate change. By sharing the knowledge we have
acquired at this summit we hope to bring a new awareness to students, global leaders and the
world’s citizens. We are sure the ideals and the passion from the World Student Environmental
Summit will continue henceforth, growing in strength as students become empowered to mitigate
climate change.

looked after by them.? As a professor and a

see how people with different backgrounds took
part in discussions and finally succeded in creating an action plan on a local and global scale. This

Dear Participants of the World Student Environmental Summit in Kyoto,
I am very pleased to hear that students from
around the world are gathering for the World
Student Environmental Summit in Kyoto. I would
like to express my respect to the President of
Doshisha University, Dr.Hatta, members of the
faculty, the leader of the student group, Mr.Yuto
Uesugi and his fellow students. As an alumnus of
Doshisha University, I am very proud of their
passion and dedication to this event.
As much as I would like to participate in this
summit from today, I have business to attend to
in the Diet and, regrettably; can not leave Tokyo
at the moment. Please accept my apology and I
will join on the last day of the summit.
The international community is trying to tackle
global climate change and the world is engaging
in fierce competition over creating a "low carbon
society". While such a huge paradigm is changing,
the world is looking at Japan's attitude and the
message it will send through its role in, and commitment to the Hokkaido Toyako Summit next
month.
Chapter 6 About the Ceremonies
I have engaged in the issue of global warming
since I was first elected to the House of Councilors in 1998, one year after the Kyoto Protocol
was concluded. The world is facing a new challenge, curbing the destruction of the ecosystem
while sustaining economic growth and the
lifestyle we have become accustomed to. I believe
that although this is a hard and long challenge, it
is one that we will overcome in the future.
The effects of global warming have already
become a reality. It is my sincere wish that
through this summit the youth of the world will
be able to come together, without worrying about
issues relating to North or South, national goals or
political agendas, and send an inspiring message,
not just to the Hokkaido Toyako Summit, but to
the future generations of the world from Kyoto,
the birth place of the Kyoto Protocol.
I sincerely wish for the success of the World
Student Environmental Summit.
20, June, 2008
Governor of Kyoto:
Keiji Yamada,
On behalf of Kyoto prefecture, I would like to
thank you for attending the World Student Environmental Summit here in Kyoto. I am very glad
that we could have these meaningful and positive
discussions on global warming for the past 3 days
and would like to express my appreciation to
each and every one of you for the results reached
through these discussions.
Environmental issues threaten us beyond borders, races and genders.
We are all citizens of the same planet.
Environmental issues can only be solved
through the cooperation of all the people in the
world.
I thought that the world had finally united
around 10 years ago; the Kyoto Protocol was
established and the world took the first step
toward a brighter future.
However, more than ten years have passed
since that time and we are still struggling to find
the right path toward an eco-friendly society.
I think that the world should cooperate more
strongly and go forward together.
A representative meeting will be held in Kyoto
next week to prepare for the Hokkaido Toyako
Summit in July.
In order to make the Toyako Summit more successful, I would like not only the representatives
attending it but also you, the youth of the world
who are responsible for the future of this planet
to make new movements in order to reunite the
world.
Again, I would like to express my gratitude to
all the participants and staff members for their
great efforts to hold this meeting.
Learning lessons from 1,200 years of history
and tradition, Kyoto will continue to work with
you in order to create a society in which people
live in harmony with nature.
Thank you very much.
8. The Farewell Closing Party
To thank all people related to the summit, a
farewell closing party was held. There were
greetings by the President of Doshisha University, Eiji Hatta and Daisaku Kadokoawa, mayor of
Kyoto prefecture. After a toast by Yuto Uesugi,
everyone enjoyed the party. There was a dance
performance by the Kyoen-sodefure group and a
hand-made documentary video of the three -day
summit. After the speech by the chairman, the
students of University of Victoria promised that
the summit next year will be held at their university . The party ended by the words of gratitude

編集後記
2008年６月20日から22日の３日間にわたり、世界初の学生による環境問題の国際会議となった「世界学生環境サミット in 京都」
が同志社大学を会場として開催された。
今回の学生環境サミットは、同志社大学が学内の省エネ等の環境問題を学生たちといっしょに取組もうと立ち上げた環境団体で
ある「同志社エコプロジェクト」の学生が中心となり、2008年７月に北海道の洞爺湖で開催される洞爺湖サミットに集う各国首脳
に対して、世界の学生の意見を提言しようというのが発端であった。
学生たちの熱い要望を受けて、2008年１月早々、八田同志社大学長が、
「世界学生環境サミット in 京都」開催の記者会見を行い、
大学と学生が京都府、ＮＰＯ等の学外団体と実行委員会を組織して開催することを発表した。
当初、Ｇ８の国々の大学及び新興国の大学からの多くの学生参加を企画したが、洞爺湖サミットまでに開催するという準備期間
が極めて短い中での学生募集が実現するのか大変心配であった。幸いにして、同志社大学教員の個人的ネットワークや国際センタ
ーの尽力のおかげもあって、多くの大学、学生の参加を得ることができたのは大きな喜びであった。
当日は、世界11カ国から14大学の学生、教職員と日本からの６大学の学生の約160名が、呼びかけに応じて「京都議定書」締結
の環境先進地域である京都の地に集った。
今回の学生環境サミットは、同志社大学の学生をはじめ、京都大学、立命館大学、関西大学、神戸大学などから参加した学生が、
地球温暖化など地球規模の環境問題を世界から集った学生たちと英語で討論し、その成果を学生意見書としてまとめるという本格
的な国際会議方式で実施した。６月20日からのサミット本番前から、インターネットを活用して討議を開始したことで、参加学生
たちは事前準備を十分したうえで集ることができた。
このような方法をとったことは、文化、言語、政治体制、宗教などが異なる世界の学生たちが意見交換をする上において、きわ
めて有効となった。ネット上で旧知の関係となっていた学生同士は、京都で顔をあわせるとすぐに打ち解け、スムーズに議論に入
ることができたといえる。
また、京都サミットでの成果は、参加した学生及び大学にも高く評価され、この試みを継続していくことが全員一致で宣言され
た。その宣言の中では、地球環境の保全とこれから継続して毎年一回開催する学生環境サミットの運営のために「世界学生環境ネ
ットワーク（ISEN）」を設立することも決定された。これを受けて、2009年の第2回世界学生環境サミットは、カナダのヴィクト
リア大学が京都の火を繋いでくれる。
このような大きな成果をあげた「世界学生環境サミット in 京都」の内容を、広く世界の大学、学生、研究機関、政府、企業等
へ報告するために、本報告書を作成した。
国際会議というサミットの性格上、本編は日本語編と英語編にわけ、資料編は日本語表記のみとした。報告書の作成は、サミッ
ト実行委員会事務局とサミット参加学生による編集委員が担当した。和訳、英訳は、ともにサミット国際部の学生によるものであ
る。細かなニュアンスや言葉使いの誤りがあるかもしれないが、その点はご寛容の程をお願いしたい。特に、授業や期末試験の合
間をぬって、限られた時間内で英訳、和訳の作業に携わってくれた学生諸君の努力には深く感謝を申し述べたい。
最後に、本報告書の作成と配布が大変遅くなったことをご協力いただいた関係各機関や関係者の皆様にお詫びをして編集後記と
させていただきます。

Editor’s postscript
From June 20th to 22nd of last year, the world’s first International Student Environmental Summit was held at Doshisha
University in Kyoto, in which students form around the world got together to discuss a variety of environmental issues.
This summit, planned by the student members of the “Doshisha Eco-project”, which was established by Doshisha University in order to create a more eco-friendly campus, was designed for the purpose of “submitting the Student Proposals to the
world leaders who attended the Hokkaido Toyako Summit in July, 2008”.
In response to the enthusiasm of the students, Dr. Hatta, President of Doshisha University, held a press conference in early
January, 2008 and declared that Doshisha University would establish an executive committee consisting of its students, Kyoto
prefecture, and many public organizations, including NPOs in order to host the International Student Environmental Summit in
Kyoto.
The executive committee initially expected that many students from both G8 and emerging countries would attend the meeting. However, this proved to be their first challenge because it turned out to be very difficult to recruit so many students in
such an extremely short period of time. Fortunately, they were able to get inspired students from many universities from various countries to attend the summit with the help of faculty members and International Center of Doshisha University.
A total of about 160 students and faculty members from six Japanese universities, fourteen foreign universities and eleven
countries and got together in an environmentally-advanced place - Kyoto, the birthplace of the Kyoto Protocol.
During the inaugural International Student Environmental Summit, students from domestic universities including Doshisha
University, Kyoto University, Ritsumeikan University and Kobe University, etc had deep discussions in English with foreign
students on international environmental issues such as global warming with the results being compiled into “Student Proposals”. Before having this traditional international conference style, students had held discussion before the summit on the internet in order to be fully prepared for the three-day meeting.
The preliminary internet discussions were very helpful for the students who all come from different cultures, and have different languages, political systems and religions to freely exchange their opinions in an safe environment. Thanks to there preliminary internet discussions the students were able to quickly make friends with each other when they met face to face at the
summit.
The outcome of the summit was highly satisfactory to both the students and their respective universities with all unanimously agreeing to have this meeting annually from now on. It was also agreed, in the Student Proposals, to establish the International Student Environmental Network (ISEN) in order to facilitate the goal of holding this conference annually. The next summit will be held at Victoria University in Canada.
This report was established to widely publicize the great success of the International Student Environmental Summit in
Kyoto to universities, students, research institutes, governmental organizations and private institutions worldwide.
Since this is about an international meeting, this report was originally written in Japanese and then translated into English
and the attached information and documents are in Japanese only. The summit report was established by the executive office
and the students who attended the summit and translations were done by the students of the International Department of the
summit. We appreciate your kind understanding for the subtle differences in the original Japanese documents and translations.
Also, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the students who translated the many documents in
their busy schedule.
Finally, I would like to sincerely apologize to those who supported this summit for the delay of this report.
Thank you very much.

＜Origin of the Summit Logo＞
<Protect>, <Connection> are the keywords that
were put in the logo.
The shape of the logo comes from an image of a human being
holding a bud with two hands when looked from above. It hides a
message that the future is within our hands. The design of the
word「sum it」is originated from the word “summit”, and
holds a meaning that the opinions of the students will be
“summed” up in the student proposal.
The black outline that is beautifully drawn my many thin lines
present an image of numerous people cooperating together as
one.
