学校は公共施設の中でも大きな割合を占める身近な施設であるとともに、次世代を担う子どもたちの学習・生活の場でもあることから、そのエコ化を全国的に進めることにより、広く社会への波及効果が期待できます。本講義では、小・中・高等学校や大学などの学校施設のエコ化をどのように進めていくかについて、国や地方公共団体、大学等の取組を紹介しながら、皆様と議論をしたいと考えています。

Mr. Hideki Takami, who belongs to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, is a member of the Eco-School Program. Eco-School means an ecological school which has some facilities suitable for environmental sustainability and commits ecological activity. In short, he is concerned with making policies to spread Eco-School.

The concept of Eco-School is made up of three important factors. The first is to build facilities which are friendly for both users and the environment. The second is to keep each facility available over the long term by utilizing natural energy technologies and so forth. The last factor is to make use of itself for the environmental education. By the way, why is Eco-School so important? There are three reasons.

Firstly, it is effective for decreasing CO₂ emissions from schools. They consume much energy among public facilities. Second, it is important for spreading the environment-friendly idea. Schools are not only places for pupils to study but also familiar facilities to local people, so schools have a big influence on their attitudes. Lastly, it can lead to a disaster measures. Schools are regularly assigned as emergency evacuation centers. Thus, natural energy, which could be used on occasional blackouts, is important.

However, the budget for Eco-School Program is limited because of the severe financial condition these days and that limitation is a large obstacle to the project.
