環境問題への取組を調査するため、７月下旬～８月上旬にかけて滋賀県立彦根工業高等学校の高校生１名および引率者１名がオーストラリアを訪問し、クレアシドニー事務所は、7月29日にはオーストラリアの概要（文化、風習等）についてブリーフィングを実施し、7月31日にはブリスベンの訪問先企業へのアテンド行いました。
ブリスベンの訪問先においては、カーボンニュートラルの観点から、カギケノリという海藻を用いて畜産動物が排出するメタンガスを減少させる取り組みについての情報を得ることができました。生徒が、将来は自らも環境のための取り組みを実施したいとの思いから、積極的にミーティングに臨んでいる姿が印象的でした。
当事務所は今回、ブリーフィング及びアテンドのほか、ブリスベンの訪問先企業に対するアポイントメント取得のサポートも行いました。
クレアシドニー事務所は、今後もオーストラリアでの調査に取り組む日本の自治体の活動を支援していきます。
