Fourth International Symposium on Human Survivability “The Global Energy Transformation: a quest for solutions from the perspective of human survivability”
Opening Speech Kitano Masao (Executive Vice-President, Kyoto University)
Course Description
The main goal of the GSAIS International Symposiums on Human Survivability is to provide a fresh look at the global challenges facing humanity in areas such as energy, water, food, population, diseases, etc. This year’s symposium will focus on energy and more specifically, on the transformation to sustainable sources of energy. Another goal of this year’s symposium is to help develop a holistic and transdisciplinary perspective on global issues that we have called “human survivability studies” (HSS).
