講義概要 ／Course description	The Earth is afflicted with great environmental pressures as the human population increasingly depletes the planet's resources. This course will provide a historical, geographical, and humanistic foundation for understanding the environment and also environmental issues. Students will be able to gain an understanding of the physical, biological, and ecological processes of the global ecosystem. The human impact from cultural, social and economics’ influences will be analyzed as well. Environmental concerns have started to grow since 1990s at a global level and famous artists, and singers have included ecological topics in their songs. Many celebrities as environmental activists have been involved in planting trees. Understanding of the roles played by the government, industry, scientists, advocacy groups, and individual citizens at the grassroots level in shaping solutions to environmental problems and managing resources will also be presented.
