Center for the Planetary Health and Innovation Science (PHIS)

Introduction

[EN] Planetary health is a new science. Its approach considers total health, including not only human health but also healthy social systems and the healthy state of natural systems on which it depends. The Center for Planetary Health and Innovation Science (PHIS) has a mission in this new global scientific challenge and aims to establish an interdisciplinary research center that links the disciplines of science, engineering, agriculture, and health sciences. To tackle various global issues, we will implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the aspect of education and research by promoting flexible and innovative transdisciplinary research and providing a place for technological innovation.

[JP] Planetary Health は、「人間・社会・自然生態のトータルな健康」を地球規模で目指す概念であり、2014年より世界の科学者が提唱している「新しい融合科学」への挑戦である。本センター（PHIS）は、この新たな世界的挑戦を使命とし、理学・工学・農学・健康科学の専門領域を連携させた学際的研究拠点を構築することを目的とする。そして地球規模の様々な課題に柔軟かつ革新的な融合研究の促進および技術革新を行う場の提供を通して、教育研究の側面から持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）を実践する。

（追加補足） 気候変動をはじめとする地球規模で発生している課題解決において、これまでの持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）で取り組まれているような、個別課題を還元的かつ独立に追求する研究のみでは対応できず、既存の概念を超えた新しい超学際的連携が必要とされており、「プラネタリーヘルス」というが概念が誕生した。この新たな世界規模の潮流の中、自ら高度な専門知識を持ちつつも、異分野およびステークホルダーと連携し、地球規模の課題に柔軟かつ創造的に取り組める人材の育成は世界規模で喫緊の課題である。
