設立趣旨
わが国における環境破壊の進行とともに、多くの方々がこの問題に様々な面から、真剣に取り組んでおります。この問題は、とくに学際的であり、従来からの単一学会では取り組み難い課題を数多く含んでおります。このような根本的かつ、重大な欠陥を補うために我々は「環境科学総合研究会」を1975年に組織し、その実績に基づいて1983年には「日本環境学会」へと発展させてまいりました。
本学会は、学者、専門家ばかりの閉鎖的なものとならないよう心掛け、環境問題の解決と持続的な社会の構築のために取り組まれている市民の方々、自治体、小・中・高等学校、そして、企業の方々などにも発表や交流の場を提供します。
Our History
As Japan’s environmental destruction has grown more serious, people from different disciplines have joined together and been working hard to address the associated problems. Environmental destruction is trans-disciplinary in its nature and contains many issues which cannot be dealt with properly by a traditional single-purpose academic institution.
In order to address these critical and fundamental shortcomings, we established the General Society on the Environmental Science in 1975 which, following its achievements, further led to the formation of the Japan Association on the Environmental Studies in 1983.
The Association does not wish to create an exclusive body of academics and professionals, and will provide opportunities for presentations and exchanges for people and organizations who are involved in environmental activities and sustainable society including ordinary citizens, primary, junior and high schools and businesses.
