L’Institut français de recherche sur le Japon à la Maison franco-japonaise a le plaisir de vous inviter à la conférence, en ligne et en anglais, sans traduction, intitulée :
« Local Energy Governance. Opportunities and Challenges for Renewable and Decentralised Energy in France and Japan »
Vendredi 9 décembre 2022, 18h00-20h00 JST
This conference is based on the publication of a new book at Routledge publisher, dedicated to a comparison of local energy governance issues in France and Japan. It aims to examine the extent of the energy transition taking place at a local level in France and in Japan, two countries that share ambitious targets regarding the reduction of GHG emissions. The two speakers, who are also the editors of the book, look on local energy policies and initiatives and apply an institutional and legal analysis to help identifying barriers but also opportunities in the development of renewable energies in local territories. On a more general level, they try to interrogate local energy and environmental transition issues in France and in Japan.
