地球持続戦略論
Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the most critical sustainability challenges facing
humanity. Both can have major environmental and socioeconomic impacts, disrupting ecosystem
functioning and human societies. As a result climate change mitigation and adaptation, and biodiversity
conservation have emerged some of the major strategies and pathways to ensure global sustainability.
Very different policy responses are designed and implemented globally to achieve these, usually
orchestrated and influenced through multi-lateral environmental agreements (MEAs) such as the United
Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) for climate change and the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
The aim of this lecture series will be to identify some of the critical elements and aspects of the current
debates on climate change and biodiversity loss, and the main narratives dominating research and policy domains.

授業計画
Module A
Lecture 1: Introduction on biodiversity loss (12 October)
Lecture 2: Ecosystem services assessment (19 October)
Lecture 3: Ecosystem services valuation 1 (26 October)
Lecture 4: Ecosystem services valuation 2 (2 November)
Lecture 5: Application for coastal-marine seascapes in Japan (9 November)
Lecture 6: Application for agricultural landscapes in Africa 1 (16 November)
Lecture 7: Application for agricultural landscapes in Africa 2 (30 November)
Lecture 1 introduces the main concepts relevant to ecosystem services and the main international policy framework.
Lectures 2 introduce the main considerations when assessing ecosystem services, including the major
observed trade-offs.
Lectures 3-4 introduces the main biophysical, economic and indicator-based tools for valuing ecosystem services. It delves in the implications of selecting a specific tool, and the considerations for analysis.
Lectures 5-7 put the main theoretical concepts introduced in the module and how they are utilized in
real world contexts. This follows real projects in satoumi seascapes of Japan (Himeshima island) and
agricultural landscapes in Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique and Swaziland specializing in the production of
biofuel feedstock (sugarcane, jatropha).
Module B
Lecture 1: Introduction and overview of climate change (December 7)
Lecture 2: Scientific basis of climate change (December 14)
Lecture 3: Impacts of climate change (cont.) (December 21)
Lecture 4: Mitigation of climate change and emerging issues (cont.) (January 11)
Lecture 5: Student presentations and discussion (January 18)
Lecture 6: Student presentations and discussion (cont.) (January 25)
Lecture 1 gives an overview of climate change and main concepts.
Lecture 2 covers the mechanism, observed evidence, and future projections of climate change.
Lecture 3 reviews the impacts of climate change and adaptation options.
Lecture 4 discusses mitigation options of climate change and emerging issues such as climate
engineering (geoengineering).
Lectures 5 and 6 are for student presentations (see below).
授業の方法
Time: Tuesdays, 10.25 am - 12.10 pm
Due to COVID-19 precaution measures, the lectures for academic year 2021-2022 will be undertaken in
principle through Zoom or other online application. Some lectures might take place in hybrid form
(in person + online) but this will be decided on a rolling basis.
成績評価方法
Each module will account for 50% of the course grade.
For Module A the students will be asked to write two short essays (1000 words each) or topics to be
communicated during Lecture 5.
For Module B the students will be asked to review one of the recent high-level reviews, papers, or reports (to be decided by Lecture 2) and prepare presentations on Lectures 5-6.
