★ [U10-04] Transdisciplinary approach for global environment and Future Earth

*Tetsuzo YASUNARI¹ (1.Research Institute for Humanity and Nature)

The global environmental studies are now required to make progress toward global sustainability and futurability of the earth system. RIHN is now stepping forward to transdisciplinary approach for tackling these issues. This approach involves strong collaboration with the international Future Earth initiative. We also emphasize the importance of Asia-Pacific region as a complex tectonic-environmental hot spot region on these issues.
