Abstract

The current policy toward renewable energy does not match establishment of coexistence society between human and nature and also between civilized societies and indigenous people’. Partly huge amount of rare metal exploitation and processing necessary for renewable energy system has been accelerated particularly under the ground of the tropical forest regions, thus its environment has been enormously damaged, and also indigenous people living in the environment has lost their lands and human rights. Secondary, the renewable energy settlement especially in Japan has been forced without sincere consideration against nature environment, bio-diversity, and opinions of local people. This paper would encourage more serious discussion about carbon neutral strategies although energy transition might be an urgent issue against global warming.
