CFP International Symposium on Future Asia
13-14 December 2012, RIHN, Kyoto

Dear H-ASIA members,

I hope this message finds you well.

As initiators of the GEC-Japan/Asia Platform, we are organizing an
international symposium on global environmental change and sustainability
research in Asia.

To briefly introduce GEC-Japan/Asia, in 2011, representatives of the global
environmental change programs in Japan and RIHN have initiated an academic
information exchange platform, called as GEC-Japan, on transdisciplinarity
and sustainability research collaboration in Japan and East Asia. We are
now extending our activities and turning GEC-Japan into GEC-Asia platform.

In this symposium, we plan to discuss further processes and Asian
particularities of global sustainability research and transdisciplinary
collaboration by including the recent developments on the Future Earth
process and focusing on science-society interface as well.

If you are interested in interdisciplinary, and preferably
transdisciplinary research and collaboration on the issues of global
environmental change and sustainability, particularly in Asia, please check
further details of our symposium on below link and you are most welcome to
join us in Kyoto.
