Finding a Way Out Through Creative Demand, II -- 6. Toward the Realization of a ?Platinum Society?. 330 $aAt a time when contemporary challenges seem to many to be insurmountable, this book offers an optimistic view of the future and provides a road map for societies to get there. Drawing upon extensive research and many years as a thought leader in environmental and sustainability issues in Japan and internationally, Hiroshi Komiyama analyzes the most pressing challenges to the attainment of sustainability of economically advanced nations and argues forcefully for Japan to lead them out of the present dilemma through active promotion of creative consumer and societal demand. He shows how an active industry?government?academic partnership can provide the environment needed to promote such new creative demand and illustrates its potential through presentation of a Platinum Society Network that was launched on a regional basis in Japan in 2010 to facilitate the solution of common issues through the exchange of information and ideas. What is perhaps most surprising about the text is its unwavering optimism supported by hard evidence, history, and insightful observation. Problems arising from new paradigms of the 21st century (what the author refers to as ?exploding knowledge, limited Earth resources, and aging societies?) thwart sustainable development in advanced and developing countries alike. All countries will struggle with issues that evolve from these paradigms including diminishing resources, expanding budget deficits, and growing global environmental problems. This window on potential practical pathways and solutions should be of interest to all those engaged in seeking ways to meet these contemporary challenges.    . 410 0$aScience for Sustainable Societies,$x2197-7348 606 $aSustainable development$zJapan 606 $aEnergy conservation$zJapan 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy and state 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aClimate change 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000 610 $aSustainable Development 610 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 610 $aEnergy Efficiency (incl.

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus 330 $aInfectious diseases are an ever present threat to humans. In recent years, the threat of these emerging viruses has been greater than ever before in human history, due in large part to global travel by larger numbers of people, and to a lesser extent to disruptions in the interface between developed and undeveloped areas. The emergence of new deadly viruses in human populations during recent decades has confirmed this risk. They remain the third leading cause of deaths in the US and the second world-wide.
