Outline (in English)

[Course Outline]
The theme for FY2024 is "Environment (and Development)". Environmental conservation" is an essential element in the conception of a sustainable society. On the other hand, developing countries continue to require development that has an irreversible impact on the environment in order to achieve economic growth and improve living standards. Is it appropriate to criticize them as simply destroying the environment? We will consider questions such as how to balance environmental conservation with economic development and poverty reduction, whether there are differences between developed and developing countries, and why it is necessary to protect the environment in the first place.
　This seminar is concerned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a whole, but especially with Goals 13, 14, and 15.

[Learning Objectives]
The goal of this seminar is to enable students to (a) view the debate on development and environmental conservation from a broad perspective, (b) formulate their own opinions and communicate them to others, and (c) imagine and envision a sustainable society for the future.
