About us

The Study Program on Climate Change for High School Students began in 2019 in Kyoto, birthplace of the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto prefectural and city governments, and the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature collaborate to implement the program, with cooperation from Kyoto's prefectural and city education boards, and others.

It conducts intensive courses on climate change, presented by leading figures, aimed at high school students in Kyoto Prefecture. The students experience cutting-edge knowledge, and through group workshops and the like, they consider what they can do for local and social transformation, and share ideas they have gathered with the wider society.

There are also opportunities for students to present what they learned through the Climate Change Learning Program, in collaboration with the Earth Hall of Fame Kyoto, an award to honor in perpetuity the achievements of those who have contributed to conservation of the global environment, and the Kyoto Environmental Culture Academic Forum international symposium.

This website was prepared with the aim of creating opportunities to study together with high school students overseas.

Let us learn together.
