Abstract

This study presents proposals for the expansion, improvement, and integrative development of Climate Change Education (CCE) in Japan. It provides an overview of CCE-related initiatives by the international community. In particular, we examine (1) how CCE was positioned within the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) 2005–2014 and international DESD programs; (2) how education, training, and awareness raising are positioned within policy measures concerning climate change adaptation and mitigation, as represented by those adopted by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); and (3) the significance of CCE, which covers the two aspects building “the world we want (UNDG, 2013), and responding to a “risk society (Beck, 1986).” Furthermore, it reviews international trends in research on CCE to understand the current status of CCE research in Japan.

For the case analysis, the study discusses CCE, using mobility (transportation) as an example area, with an eye to the future expansion and improvement of CCE in Japan, while referring to three integrative problem-solving models. We highlight the importance of the construction of a social ecosystem to the development of more widespread and effective CCE. Encouraging people to adopt responsible behavior is also essential and can be achieved by informing them of the clearly defined different dimensions of CCE. They are individual actors, systems, organizational structures, the public sphere, and daily life, and are based upon the integrative problem-solving models mentioned in this study.

日本气候变化教育现状及一体化发展建议
本研究为日本气候变化教育(CCE)的扩展、改进和综合发展提出了建议。它概述了国际社会与CCE有关的举措。特别是,我们研究了(1)CCE在2005-2014年联合国可持续发展教育十年(DESD)和国际DESD计划中的定位;(2) 教育、培训和提高认识如何在《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方会议通过的关于适应和缓解气候变化的政策措施中定位;(3)CCE的意义,包括建设“我们想要的世界”(UNDG,2013)和应对“风险社会”(Beck,1986)两个方面。此外,它还回顾了CCE研究的国际趋势,以了解日本CCE研究现状。在案例分析中,本研究以移动性(交通)为例,讨论了CCE,着眼于CCE在日本的未来扩展和改进,同时参考了三种综合解决问题的模型。我们强调了构建社会生态系统对发展更广泛、更有效的CCE的重要性。鼓励人们采取负责任的行为也是至关重要的,可以通过告知他们CCE的明确定义的不同维度来实现。它们是个体行动者、系统、组织结构、公共领域和日常生活,并基于本研究中提到的综合解决问题模型。

期刊介绍: First published in 1977 as an international journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences, IATSS Research has contributed to the dissemination of interdisciplinary wisdom on ideal mobility, particularly in Asia. IATSS Research is an international refereed journal providing a platform for the exchange of scientific findings on transportation and safety across a wide range of academic fields, with particular emphasis on the links between scientific findings and practice in society and cultural contexts. IATSS Research welcomes submission of original research articles and reviews that satisfy the following conditions: 1.Relevant to transportation and safety, and the multiple impacts of transportation systems on security, human health, and the environment. 2.Contains important policy and practical implications based on scientific evidence in the applicable academic field. In addition to welcoming general submissions, IATSS Research occasionally plans and publishes special feature sections and special issues composed of invited articles addressing specific topics.
