"Green Technology to Save the Earth" compiled by professors of Faculty of Science and Engineering won the first place in the popularity ranking (environment and nature category)
Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Green Technology (to open in 2026), an introductory book for "environmental human resources" written by professors, "Green Technology to Save the Earth" (edited by Tatsuki Toda, Shunichi Ida, and Shinjiro Sato, Third Civilization Publishing) was published on September 16 and ranked first in the popularity ranking of Seven Net Shopping's environment and nature category (as of October 3).
This book examines the current state and challenges of green technology as an innovative solution to global issues such as climate change, and explores the path toward realizing a sustainable society. It goes beyond simply introducing the technology and comprehensively discusses issues surrounding its implementation in society, trends in the industrial sector, and the future outlook for the planet, with content designed to foster "environmental talent." In an age where keywords like SDGs, carbon neutrality, and a decarbonized society have become commonplace, this is an extremely timely book.
The editors stated, "We hope that this book will help people understand the content of green technology and its impact on the environment and society, and that the importance of technology and its social implementation in solving global environmental problems will become more widely known in society."
