授業の概要(ねらい)

(Teaching language: English)

The course「Global Environment Studies II」 builds on the knowledge gained in 「Global Environment Studies I」 but no prior knowledge is required. The course repeats the basic ideas of Global Environmental Studies. At first, students learn about the major environmental issues in Japan. Specifically, the course covers pollution during the period of rapid economic growth after World War II, environmental problems and policies in contemporary Japan. After that, we elaborate about the global waste problem and natural resources as well as a recycling-based economy and society. Finally, we illuminate the topic of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), by focusing on environmental issues. This course approaches the field of global environment mainly from the perspective of social science but refers to various related fields as well. This course consists of introductory lectures, group work and discussions. The course is completed with a written exam at the end of the semester.
