Work with the Japanese government on a variety of environmental topics to compare Japanese and U.S. approaches to the world’s most significant environmental issues. Focus specifically on such issues as how to protect human health and the environment from chemical and radiation contamination, particularly after significant contamination events. Learn how the Japanese government works with industry to encourage sustainable materials management such as design for environment and life cycle assessment to stimulate growth in the green economy. Compare how the U.S. and Japan lend their expertise and work on these and other environmental issues in developing countries.
