MAB Local Knowledge Project JST RistexTD-Vuls ガバナンス/国際開発研究会 Japanese

Inherited the efforts of Trans-disciplinary (TD) science to fuse the traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge cultivated in GCOE "Global Eco-Risk Management from Asian Viewpoints", the former president Kunio Suzuki served as the chair of the MAB National Committee of Japan. Utilizing international efforts such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Geopark, World Agricultural Heritage, etc. on the way UNESCO's MAB (Man and the biosphere) program, conservation and use of natural assets based on "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)". Mutual exchanges of experts that contribute to the independence and revitalization of the area utilizing the natural resources of each area were mutually exchanged and the creation of new commons by the regional environmental knowledge formation and sustainable management. In collaboration with the project, develop results, work at the University, and build a cooperative system with practical activities in each region.

 As a contributor of Professor Sato Sato of Ehime University, as a contributor of JST-RISTEX, we are promoting regional SDGs efforts such as MAB projects in cooperation with regional members of various regions based on Transdisciplinary approach, and to learn lesson of case study as the MAB program, IPBES, IPCC, We propose to the world through Pew Marine Conservation Fellow Conference, JICA Project, United Nations University IAS and others. Through case studies of MAB's domestic network and case studies, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MAB, RISTEX), the Ministry of the Environment (World Heritage, National Parks etc.), Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (wind power generation, water quality ecological risk), Ministry of Agriculture We propose a way of transdisciplinary approach based on risk studies.
