The Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies (GSGES) was established in April 2002 to address the urgent environmental problems of the 21st century. Our primary objective is to help establish global environmental sustainability as a new field of academic study, bringing together ethics, science and technology, and humanities and social sciences. Through our educational and research programs, we seek to foster a new generation of professional practitioners.
Helping us realize this goal is a multidisciplinary and international faculty from fields that include engineering, agriculture, law, economics and literature. The graduate school seeks to 1) achieve in-depth discussion and collaboration among faculty members, 2) train high-level researchers and practitioners who can find comprehensive solutions to environmental problems, and 3) support education and research through a variety of innovative frameworks and programs.
Our ground-breaking research initiatives include multidisciplinary projects working with various local governments in Japan as well as extended international academic collaboration with universities and researchers in such countries as Vietnam, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Fiji, Germany and Sweden.
Our educational program trains outstanding professionals and leaders in environmental management. Core lectures are conducted in English and all students in the master’s program are required to participate in one week of fieldwork, held in the summer, as well as a three-month internship program.
The 398 master’s program graduates and 119 doctoral program graduates who are actively working in society today represent the results of our efforts to date. We are proud to have educated a large number of talented students who are now playing an active role in universities, research institutions, government offices, private enterprises and NPOs throughout Japan and overseas. GSGES welcomes inquisitive, hard-working and global-minded individuals ready to take part in leading the way to a sustainable future.

Sustainable Rural Development
Rural sustainability (RS)was traditionallymaintainedbypreservingharmonywithinageographically limited frame.Thistypeofharmonywasmaintainedbyfivecomponents,asshownin the figureon theright.Becauseallof thesecomponentsareassociatedwithregionalcharacteristics,ruralsustainabilityalsoinvolvescharacteristicsthatareuniquetoeachregion.
Inrecentyears,however,thedecliningandagingpopulation,economicglobalization, climate change and excessivehuman-induceddevelopmenthavebroughtaboutchanges in thosefivecomponents.Asa result, rural regionsarenow facingvariouschallenges and this, in turn, is significantly impairing ruralsustainability.
Working fromaruralplanningperspective, theLaboratoryofSustainableRuralDevelopment isdesigningandevaluatingmeasuresandpolicies inanattempt tooffersolutions to thesechallenges and to rebuild region-specific rural sustainabilitythatcanextend into the future.Ourresearchconcernscoverawide rangeof topics includingregional resourcemanagementbywayofknowledgemanagement, restorationof socialcapital(SC) and regional revitalization, symbiosisbetween residentialenvironmentsandwildlife,regionaldevelopmentthroughregional
informatization, the establishment of resident-led communityplanning theory, andproposals onhow to carry out regionalrealignmentandsocial infrastructuredevelopment inasocietywithadecliningpopulation.

In thegeographycomponent,weoffercourses forstudyingthe interaction and symbiosis between the environment andhumanactivity.Forthispurpose,weusecomputertechnologiessuch as remote sensing (satellite images) and geographicinformation systems toanalyzegeomorphological, demographicand landusedata.However,ourresearchscope isnotconfinedsolelytotechnologicalaspects.Inordertostudythetypologyanddevelopmentmodelsofhuman-environmental relationships,wealsoemployhistoricalandphilosophicalapproaches—stressingtheimportanceofthevarietyofideasrelatingtotheenvironmentanddevelopmentandhowthisvariesdependingon thedifferencesbetweenregions,timeperiodsandcultures.
In the literature component,we carry out our researchby examining theway inwhichdisasters and environmentaldegradationareportrayedinworksofliterature,andweexplorethedocumentary orprophetic roles that literature is able toplaywithregardtoenvironmental issues.Wealsoseektoraisequestionswhichmayonlybeaccessiblethrough literaryworks.Forinstance,thisincludesthestoriesofthosewhodiedasaresultofdisasters,orthosewhohavelosttheabilitytospeakbecauseofpollution.Inthepublicoracademicrecord,thesepeopleareoften

Environmental Perspectives in Asian Economic History
The primary focus of this area of study is historicaldevelopments inAsia.Thenineteenthcentury isnowwidelyunderstood to have been the first great age of modernglobalization,introducingtheconjoinedconceptsofthe‘freetraderevolution,’ the ‘transportationrevolution,’andthe ‘internationalfinancial revolution’ of themid-centuryyears.More recently,comparisonsamongregionaleconomieshavebeensuggestedasamethodforstudyingglobalhistory.Ratherthanconcentratingon intra-Europeancomparisons, thisapproach toglobalhistoryfocusesoncomparisonsbetweenmajorregionssuchasWesternEuropeandEastAsia.Itanalyzestheprocessofglobalizationintermsof the interactionsbetweendifferentregions, rather thantheunilateral influenceoftheWest.EastAsiastandsoutasoneoftheregionsleastaffectedbyWesterncolonialism,andprovidesthebestexampleofindustrializationinthenineteenthcentury.
Thenineteenthcenturywasalso anera characterizedbyglobalizedeconomiccrises,mostofwhichhavebeenexaminedsurprisingly little in terms of their international dimensions.Epidemicoutbreaks, inparticular,becamecommon throughouttheworldduringthenineteenthcentury.Peoplecarriedvariousendemicdiseases fromport toportalongseabornetraderoutesand such diseases spread easily in the rapidly expandingcities,where thedevelopment of sanitation facilities hadnotkeptupwith the increase inpopulation.Thisprocesscertainly
disrupted tradeandcouldbeconsideredacontributing factorto the economic depressions that followed.The process ofindustrialization inEastAsiamustbe considered in termsoftheseglobalizedeconomiccrises.
Altogether,thesegeophysical,biologicalandecologicalfactorsmayhavebeen closely connectedwith economicmovements,but it isnot clearhowand towhatextent these factorsmayhaveoperated.These significantquestionsmustbeaddressedat theunder-exploredboundariesbetweenhistoryandscientificdisciplinesthathistoriansoftenignore.

NegativeenvironmentalimpactsofagricultureProfessorShinyaFUNAKAWATerrestrialEcosystemsManagement(Soilscience)
How can we manage agricultural practices while mitigating their negative impacts on the environment?
I t i s w i d e l y b e l i e v e d t h a t a g r i c u l t u r e i senvironmentally friendly.However,we often observethat agricultural practices actually degrade the localenvironment. Sincewe cannot survivewithout foodproduction,wehavetodevelopanapproachtoagriculturalmanagementwhich does not lead to environmentaldegradation.
Water andmineral nutrients, both ofwhich areessentialecological resources inagriculture,areusuallynot compatiblewith eachother.Mineralnutrients aregenerallyscarce insoils found inhumidclimatesduetointensivemineralweathering,while the availability ofwaterresourcesisusuallyalimitingfactorforagriculturalproductionindryclimateswheresoilsaregenerallyfertilein termsof theirmineralnutrientcontent.Toovercomethese inherent limitations, the application of chemicalfertilizerisaverycommonpracticeaspartofmodernizedagriculture in humid regions, whereas irrigation isindispensableforfarmingindryareas.However,aheavydoseofchemicalfertilizerresultsinnutrientleachingfromsoilsandconsequentdownstreamcontamination.Intensiveirrigationcausesthedepletionofregionalwaterresourcesaswell as accelerated secondary soil salinization.Bothexamples suggest thatagriculturalpracticescaneasilybringaboutenvironmentalproblems.
In thepast, humanbeingshavecultivated landbyadjusting to the respective soil andclimatic conditionsin different areas.As part ofmy research activities,whichare focusedon localagriculture incountriessuchas Japan, SouthEastAsia,Africa andCentralAsia, Iseek to identify theessential componentsof sustainableagriculture.
Domestic food production could decrease environmental deterioration in other countries
However,weshouldrememberthat lowlandpaddiesinJapancouldbefreefromthetypicalproblemsdescribedabove.That is, theyprovidebothwater resourcesandmineralnutrients at the same time. Japanexperiencesactiveorogenicmovementwithintensivevolcanicactivity,resulting in active erosion inupland streams and thedownstreamdepositionofweatherableminerals thatcanreleasemineralnutrients in lowlandareas. It is awell-knownfactthatlowlandpaddiesinJapanhavesupportedquiteahighpopulationsincetheEdoerawithoutthehelpofchemicalfertilizers.
It is, therefore, questionablewhetherwe shouldpractice Japanese agriculturebased only on economicconsiderations.Twomajorapproacheshavebeenusedwhendiscussing futureagriculture,oneemphasizingtheglobaleconomyandfreetrade,andtheotherprioritizingnational food security. I strongly recommend thatweincludethenegativeenvironmentalimpactsofagriculturein thesediscussions. Japanpossesses inherentlygoodagroecologicalconditionswithwhichwecanminimizethenegativeenvironmental impactsof agriculture.Wecancontribute todecreasingenvironmentaldegradation inforeigncountries thatexportenvironmentallyhigh-costfoodmaterialsbyproducingourown fooddomestically.I believe that such aviewpoint shouldbe included indiscussionsoffuturepossibilitiesforagricultureinJapan.

EnvironmentalRefugeesandDevelopment-InducedDisplacementAssociateProfessorJaneSingerEnvironmentalEducation
E t h i c a l c o n c e r n s r a i s e d b y displacement
The theme ofmy research is humanmigrationand d isp lacement . Th is inc ludes deve lopment -induced displacement aswell as those displaced bynaturaldisasters or environmental changes -- flooding,desertification,deforestation, landslides, longperiodsofdroughtandrisingsea levels -- often linked toclimaticchange,whoareoftencalled“environmentalrefugees.”
I’mespeciallyinterestedintheethicalconcernsraisedbydisplacement.Thequestionarisesofwhatwemeanwhenwecallpeople “environmental refugees,”becauseunder international law,arefugee issomeonewhocan’treturn tohis orherhomebecauseof a legitimate fearofpersecution, civilwarfareorgeneralizedviolence.Alegallyrecognizedrefugeehas theright tobeacceptedby other countries and to be providedwith basichumanneeds.But there isasyetno legaldefinitionofenvironmental refugees or clarification of their legalrightsbyany international legalbody.Fromanethicalstandpointwe can argue thatmost of those peopleoriginateindevelopingcountries,whicharenotprimarilyresponsible foremitting thegreenhousegases thatarelinkedtoclimatechange.Becausethedevelopedcountriescausemost of theemissions, under the “polluterpays”principle,don’ttheybearresponsibilityforacceptingandprovidingforenvironmentalrefugees?
Displaced by a hydropower dam in Vietnam
I am currently involved in a research project incentralVietnam, examining ethnicminority villagesdisplacedbyconstructionof ahydropowerdam.Manydevelopingcountriesrelyoncheap,plentifulhydropowerto supply their growing energy needs, but damconstructiontoooftendisplacesandimpoverishespeople.
Resettledpopulationsmayreceivecompensation fortheiroriginalhomesandland,andtheymaybenefitfromimproved infrastructure, health care and educationalopportunities,butthisoftencomesataprice.Replacementland isusuallymuch lessproductive than theiroriginalfarm plots, so that even though they can transitionfromsubsistence farming to cashcropagricultureandrecompensedmanual labor,displacedresidentsmaynolongerhavebasic food security for their families.Forethnicminorityresidents,whomakeupadisproportionatepercentageof thosedisplaced inVietnam, loweducationandadaptive capacitymakes it evenmoredifficult torecoverfromtheshockofresettlement.
Accordingtoa1986UnitedNationsGeneralAssemblydeclaration,everyonehas theright toparticipate inandenjoy thebenefits of development. In this case, somepeople sufferwhileothers,particularly industry,urbanareas and the risingmiddle class, reap the benefitsof hydroelectric generation. Development-induceddisplacement raises ethical questions about how toapportionbenefitsequitably.
