Self introductions. "The most serious natural environment problem in my country." Lecture: Nature of global environmental issues including "Sustainable Development". Discussion: What is global environmental issue and its ultimate adverse influence to human-beings ? And the relationships between those problems and EIAs. Assignment #1: Research on "EIA procedure in my country." ■Week 2 on 14th June Presentation of assignment #1 Lecture: EIA procedure Discussion: What is the most important process in EIA procedure. Assignment #2: An example of HSI model and process of HEP. ■Week 3 on 21st June Presentation of assignment #2 Lecture: HEP and its application into EIA in Japan Discussion: HEP reveals residual adverse impacts onto habitat. Then what should we do next? Assignment #3: What is "Nature Positive"? ■Week 4 on 28th June Presentation of assignment #3 Lecture: Kachituli Oxbow Restoration Project in California. -"Compensatory mitigation" ("biodiversity offset") for the residual adverse impacts onto habitat. "Mitigation hierarchy" and "no net loss" policy. Discussion: Comparison between Japan's case and California's case in terms of quantitatively saving habitats. Assignment #4: What is the relationship between "Nature Positive" and EIA? ■Week 5 on 5th July Presentation of assignment #4 Lecture: Mitigation Banking (Biodiversity Banking) VTR: Kachituli Oxbow Restoration Project and Mitigtion banking in US Discussion: Comparison between Japan's case and California's case in terms of quantitatively saving habitats. Assignment #5: Prepare HEP accounting test ■Week 6 on 12th July Test: HEP accounting VTR: Satoyama Ecosystems in Japan (by David Attenborough) Discussion: Comparison between Japan's case and California's case in terms of quantitatively saving habitats.
