One Earth Guardians Educational Program

The magnificent diversity of the Earth’s living world flourishes best when the interdependency of its members is recognized, respected, and nurtured. No single species including man can survive in disregard of its dependency on others. Exploitation must give way to exploration and development of sustainable ways to meet human needs while at the same time caring for the health and well-being of all of living things. The goal of this program is to train scientists, “One Earth Guardians” who understand global repercussions of each individuals’ actions and will strive to achieve “One Earth”, a unified science-based understanding of how we all can work together toward maintaining the healthiest, most productive planet with zero waste.

Toward these goals, the program will provide highly professional work in various fields including biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, as well as promoting an overview covering an interdisciplinary network of sociology, economics, and education. Guardians will assume a leadership role in coordinating for experts from different major fields and cultural spheres. This “One Earth Guardians Institution,” comprised of the faculty of the University, will closely cooperate with “One Earth Guardians Office” made up of advisers from the government and industry to run this program for 100 years.
