Outline of Final Research Achievements

The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, reminded us of the harsh realities of the natural environment in the Japanese Archipelago. The Pacific Ocean coastline of the Tohoku region has been frequently hit in recent years by large Tsunami that have repeatedly resulted in serious damage. The main difference between the 2011 GEJET, and the previous tsunamis that hit the region is the accident that occurred at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.
The significance of what can be learned from the duality of the natural world, which provides the blessings of the natural environment as well as terrible natural disasters, is something that education should engage with and something that Japan can communicate to the international community. If disaster prevention education is ignored, a sustainable society cannot be built. The ESD perspective is that integrated efforts in numerous connected fields are required to achieve the construction of a sustainable society.
