Voices of Kanbun

Excerpts from JAES21 NEWSLETTER

Since its establishment in 1993, Japan Association of Environment and Society for the 21st Century (JAES21) have placed much importance on monthly issuance of its newsletter to form a sound and science-based public opinion in our society, and never missed it even once in the past 33 years! The lead-off essay “Kaze (Winds)” written by JAES21 Representatives, among others, has delivered our opinion on trendy issues in Japan and have provided our members with an advanced vision for realization of sustainable society.

Followings are some of recent essays translated into English. Originally written for Japanese readers and therefore literal translation might not be readable, so these English versions were slightly modified for non-Japanese readers.

We highly welcome your comments on the topics of “Kaze” at info@kanbun.org
