The 5th "Asian and African Perspectives of Sustainable Humanosphere"G-COE International Conferece 2011
Date:December 4-6, 2011
Venue:No. 333, Inamori Foundation Memorial Hall, CSEAS, Kyoto University
Title: "Asian and African Perspectives of Sustainable Humanosphere"
【Summary】
The objective of the fifth international symposium is to explore, as broadly as possible, how we can create conditions for “sustainable humanosphere” in Asia and Africa. By setting the humanosphere as the basic unit for analyzing the sustainable human environment and defining the ‘survivability’, ‘reproduction’ and/or ‘sustainability’ as the material and psychological conditions necessary for an individual or a community to survive sustainably, our ultimate goal is to identify concrete ways in which we can create a sustainable humanosphere in local, regional, and global contexts.
