Scope of the Series
This series aims to provide timely coverage of results of research conducted in
accordance with the principles of sustainability science to address impediments to
achieving sustainable societies – that is, societies that are low carbon emitters, that
live in harmony with nature, and that promote the recycling and re-use of natural
resources. Books in the series also address innovative means of advancing sustainability science itself in the development of both research and education models.
The overall goal of the series is to contribute to the development of sustainability
science and to its promotion at research institutions worldwide, with a view to
furthering knowledge and overcoming the limitations of traditional disciplinebased research to address complex problems that afflict humanity and now seem
intractable.
Books published in this series will be solicited from scholars working across
academic disciplines to address challenges to sustainable development in all areas of
human endeavors.
This is an official book series of the Integrated Research System for Sustainability
Science (IR3S) of the University of Tokyo and the Institute for Global Environmental
Strategies (IGES).
