Green Drinks Kyoto - with Walter James from IEEFA

Come to the next Kansai Green Drinks Meetup, this time in Kyoto! We'll start at 6:30pm, and go until 9:00pm, and you can stop by anytime. This week, we'll have a special guest speaker - Walter James an Energy Finance Specialist at IEEFA with a particular focus on natural gas, renewables/energy storage, and data centers in Japan. His work has been published in The Japan Times, East Asia Forum, Capital & Climate Media, Green Central Banking, Energy Tracker Asia, and elsewhere. James will share about his ongoing and upcoming research onto Japanese climate, energy policy and decarbonization efforts, and answer questions from attendees. Green Drinks is a casual networking opportunity and a place for individuals to find community around sustainability issues in the Kansai region. If you're interested in climate, environmental protection, marine environment, biodiversity, or any related topic. We'll meet at the Kyoto Sando Food Hall, near Kyoto Station, which has plenty of seats and lots of food and drinks options. Look for the sign! No need to bring your ticket or download the app - just RSVP here. Green Drinks takes place around the world, with meetups in over 600 cities. The key to Green Drinks is to network and share. Most people who attend Green Drinks meetings come away with something from the event whether it be educational or social.
