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
increasing the vulnerability of human societies.
Consequently, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and biodiversity conservation have emerged as
some of the major strategies and pathways to ensure global sustainability. Very different practical
solutions and policy responses are designed and implemented globally depending on the local context to achieve these aims, 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 outline some of the critical elements and aspects of the current
debates on climate change and biodiversity loss, and the main narratives dominating these research, policy and practice domains.

授業計画
Module A
Lecture 1 introduces the main concepts relevant to biodiversity, 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 methodological and practical implications of selecting a specific tool, and the
considerations for analysis.
Lectures 5-8 put the main theoretical concepts introduced in the module and how they are utilized in real world contexts. This follows actual research projects related to ecosystem restoration in China (Large
Xiamen Bay) and agricultural landscapes used for the production of biofuel feedstock (sugarcane,
jatropha) in Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique and Swaziland.
Module B
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 5-7 are for student presentations and discussion (see below).
授業の方法
Time: Tuesdays, 10.25 am - 12.10 pm
The lectures will in principle take place in hybrid format (in person + online) but this will be decided on a
rolling basis. The in person element will take place in Kashiwa Campus, and the online element through
Zoom software.
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) on topics to be
communicated during Lecture 5. Essays will be handed in December 2022, on a deadline that will 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.
