Initiative Planetary Wellbeing Initiative

Planetary Wellbeing Initiative

The global environment affects human wellbeing, and human behavior affects the wellbeing of the planet. We will explore the dynamic relationship between people's wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet, and outline a path to an alternative future where people's wellbeing equals the wellbeing of the Earth.
About Us

Who we are

We are members of:
1) the research team of the SATREPS project in the Kyrgyz Republic, “Development of an air pollution assessment system using satellite data and domain chemical transport models and formation of a new center of excellence for air pollution and indoor air quality control” and
2) the research team of the Department of Public Health at Institute of Science Tokyo on the topic of climate change, "the Philosophies, Lifestyles, and Attitudes Nurturing pro-Environmental Tactics for Planetary Wellbeing (PLANET) study."

What we do

Global issues such as climate change and air pollution are caused by human behavior and ultimately affect human health.
Therefore, when considering planetary well-being, it is essential to consider the interactive relationship between humans and the global environment.

This initiative will comprehensively address planetary well-being by examining climate change in Japan and air pollution in Kyrgyzstan as case studies.
Furthermore, we will use mathematical modeling to simulate multiple possible futures and map them as a "controllable parameter space." Then, we will examine their progress using real-world data.

Who we work with

For the SATREPS project in the Kyrgyz Republic, we will work with Dr. Yumimoto of Kyushu University to develop a chemical transport model. Additionally, we will collaborate with Dr. Storey, the former head of the Center for Communication Programs at Johns Hopkins University, on a media campaign to promote behavioral changes.

キルギス共和国の大気汚染に関するプロジェクト

キルギス共和国では住宅暖房用の石炭燃焼が主な原因で、世界で2番目に大気汚染が深刻とされています(2022年時点)。本プロジェクトでは、南部のオシュ国立大学と連携し、大気汚染やその経済・健康への影響を評価するシステムを衛星データと化学輸送モデルを用いて開発します。さらに、意識向上キャンペーンや政策提言を行い、日本とキルギスの研究者・政府関係者が協力してワークショップや人材育成を進め、技術移転を図ります。

気候変動プロジェクト

気候変動に関するthe Philosophies, Lifestyles, and Attitudes Nurturing pro-Environmental Tactics for Planetary Well-being (PLANET) studyを行い、日本における気候変動に対する意識向上のための介入戦略を検討する。
