Various efforts have sought to mitigate climate change in recent decades. In order to slow down global warming, fossil fuels need to be replaced with clean energy such as the new and renewable energy. In addition, technologies increasing energy efficiency need to be developed. The energy self-sufficient village project is one measure for reducing fossil fuel consumption in developed countries. The goal of this study is to identify strategies for sustainable energy self-sufficient village to effectively mitigate climate change. Expert surveys were conducted, and the Delphi method was used to find key strategies. Results showed that providing education on energy self-sufficient village projects to the public is the first step to improve awareness of the importance of these projects. The second priority is supplying economic benefits to participants. The third priority is to develop a new business model through the project. The fourth priority is to develop state-of-the-art technologies, and the fifth is to encourage cooperation among government, industry, and research institutes. Results from this study can be used as basic data to establish strategies for effectively implementing energy self-sufficient village projects and other similar projects to mitigate climate change.
