サステイナビリティ学最前線

Frontier of Sustainability Science サステイナビリティ学最前線(2)
This course is designed to learn a great variety of researches conducted at the frontier of “Sustainability Science”, through the latest research outcomes of Sustainability Science Consortium (SSC) and Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S). SSC and IR3S were established to develop sustainability research, education, and public outreach programs and to strengthen coordination between national and local government, corporations, NPOs and other organizations while developing practical measures for technological innovation and social transformation (http://ssc-g.net/*****). By understanding a variety of academic fields related to sustainability and interactions among them, students will come to take part in the process of integrating multiple academic disciplines to implement sustainability science approach.

Schedule and specific topic of 2021 will be uploaded later. The following is the one of year 2020 for your reference. ------- June 20 (Saturday) Lecture 1: Introduction and Adaptation to climate change in Asia (Makoto Tamura, Ibaraki U) This lecture discusses desirable adaptation to climate change. First, the lecture introduces some research progress on impact assessment of climate change in Japan and case studies of the Asia‐Pacific region. Second, it shows some activities of adaptation in the coastal area and discusses resilient adaptation collaborating with stakeholders. Lecture 2: Future Design (Keishiro Hara, Osaka U) The fundamental challenge of sustainability issues lies in intergenerational conflicts. As unborn generations have neither a say nor way of negotiating with the current generation, it is no wonder that decisions made now under current social systems are based primarily on the interests of current generation, creating problems, such as climate change and resources depletion. This lecture will introduce the new research field “Future Design” that aims to deal with the fundamental challenge above, addressing how to design society and to make decisions taking into account the preference of future generations. Along with theoretical background and motivation, examples of participatory practices at local municipalities will be introduced, followed by discussion on how we could facilitate policymaking while taking into account the interest of future generations. Lecture 3: Sustainability Transitions (Akihisa Mori, Kyoto U) As opposed to the Future Design, we are embedding into forward looking way of decision-making. As a result, strategies and policies tend to assume business as usual as given and seek opportunities for co-benefits to convince as many opponents to take ambitious ones. Backcasting is useful in indicating future pathways toward the imaginaries discussed in the Future Design, but it provides limited insights on how to make it happen in the society. Against this backdrop, this lecture gives some tips to move the current social system toward a sustainable pathway so that students would come up with ideas in the group work of this course. Lecture 4: On economic growth and SDGs – Future design may be a key (Michinori Uwasu, Osaka U) Economic growth has caused many ecological problems such as climate change and loss of biodiversity while it can possibly contribute to achieving some of the SDGs. This lecture first reviews SDGs and some economic/social indicators such as GDP and wellbeing to identify what challenges we face for sustainable development. I then argue that establishing inclusive institutions is necessary for achieving sustainable development and that future design plays a key role in the transition. →Continue to "Others"
