Empirical study on human resource development programmes for green social innovation

- a case study of Awaji Island

Abstract

Decarbonisation is being called for as a global social challenge. As a solution, green recovery initiatives are attracting attention. This study therefore focuses on human resources (GX human resources) who can work to solve regional issues while taking into account the circular economy and biodiversity. The aim is to develop these GX human resources, with universities taking the lead, in cooperation with companies, local authorities and local residents. The aim of this study is to develop an evaluation scale for the development of GX human resources and to verify the effectiveness of the scale. The results showed that the groups that implemented more activities in collaboration with companies, local authorities and local residents were given higher ratings.
