Solutions to Global Warming
As you know, we are facing the extent and seriousness of rising surface of Earth temperatures.
Therefore, the action is needed to reduce future warming.
Japan KYUSHU Tourist has been providing the information on the Global issues of Environment.
And also while conducting environmental tours, we have been proposing the solutions to global
warming and environmental problems.
Global Warming
Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of
Earth over the past one to two centuries. Climate scientists have since the mid-20th century
gathered detailed observations of various weather phenomena (such as temperatures, precipitation,
and storms) and of related influences on climate (such as ocean currents and the atmosphere’s
chemical composition).
These data indicate that Earth’s climate has changed over almost every conceivable timescale
since the beginning of geologic time and that the influence of human activities since at least the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution has been deeply woven into the very fabric of climate change.
Carbon neutrality
Carbon neutrality refers to achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions by balancing
carbon dioxide emissions with removal.
Carbon-neutral status can be achieved in two ways:
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
Balancing carbon dioxide emissions with carbon offsets, often through carbon offsetting—the
process of reducing or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions or sequestering (removing) carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere to make up for emissions elsewhere. If the total greenhouse gasses
emitted is equal to the total amount avoided or removed then the two effectively cancel each other
out and the net emissions are ‘neutral’.
Reducing carbon emissions (low-carbon economy) to zero through changing energy sources and
industry processes. Shifting towards the use of renewable energy (e.g. hydro, wind, geothermal,
and solar power) as well as nuclear power reduces GHG emissions. Although both renewable and
non-renewable energy both produce carbon emissions in some form, renewable energy has a lesser
to almost zero carbon emissions which produces much less carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels.
Making changes to current industrial and agricultural processes to reduce carbon emissions
(for example, diet changes to livestock such as cattle can potentially reduce methane production
by 40%. Carbon projects and emissions trading are often used to reduce carbon emissions, and
carbon dioxide can even sometimes be prevented from entering the atmosphere entirely (such as
by carbon scrubbing).
Climate change
Climate change includes both the global warming driven by human emissions of
greenhouse gases, and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns.
Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century,
humans have had unprecedented impact on Earth’s climate system and caused change on
a global scale
The largest driver of warming is the emission of greenhouse gases, of which more than
90% are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane.
Fossil fuel burning (coal, oil, and gas) for energy consumption is the main source of these
emissions, with additional contributions from agriculture, deforestation, and industrial processes.
Study tours to Kitakyushu
Kitakyushu-city is the World leading Environmental Future city, and blessed with spectacular
and stunning nature. The city is the Industrial Innovation city greatly contributed to Japan’s
Industrial modernization since Japan’s modern Steel Industry operation commenced in 1901.
Now Kitakyushu offers the various kind of Study tour such as Environment, Solid Waste
management, Industry, Science, Geography, Architecture, Economy as well as SDGS.
We are providing the Study tour as a package including the planning, arrangement of visiting
places, tour conductor and interpreter, transportation and accommodations.
Where to learn
We are offering various type of study tour utilizimg the following learning resources, environment
and historical aspects. Feature of our study tour is the tailor-made in accordance with customer
requirement of learning.
Solid Waste management & Recycling
Kitakyushu-city is the advanced city of solid waste management in Japan. Comprehensive
solid waste management syetem can be learned from waste collecing procedure at
household to the final stage of waste treatment such as incineration, landfill and recycling.
Eco Town Center |
Waste paper recycling |
Melting Furnace |
The city is promoting the low carbon society in Asia while taking leadership as the Environmental
Future City. The new generation technologies and the activities cooperated with Citizen to achieve
low carbon society can be learned.
Wind Power Generation |
Zero Emission Transportation |
Solar Power Generation |
Industrial modernization & KAIZEN strategy
Japanese industry at the end of 19th century was 200 years behind. Since Japan’s modern
Steel Industry operation commenced in 1901 in Kitakyushu, Japan became the world’s leading
industrialized country in only 100 years. There is the KAIZEN strategy in the background to
Japan becoming an industrialrzed country at a rapid speed.
Nippon Steel |
TOYOTA Motor Kyushu |
Yaskawa Electric |
There are a lot of Museums and facilities where Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics can be learned.

The four sites of Yawata Steel Works in Kitakyushu area have been inscribed as Iron and
Steel Industry. The buildings of The Imperial Steel Works, Japan at Yawata Works of
Nippon Steel are the surviving components of Asia’s first successful integrated iron and
steel works.

There are a lot of unique construction designed by renowned architects and civil engineers,
that were constructed beginning of Japan’s Industrial modernization. The design philosophy
of designers focused on the future can be learned.

Geography is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and
phenomena of Earth. Kitakyushu has unique geographical features, therefore Earth and its
human and natural complexities and also how they have changed and come to be can be learned.
