D64b8ceb2ae99b8ee241d0a53d Welcome! Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to welcome you to the Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference! This conference maybe recorded in the history of the Earth System Governance conferences as the conference with the longest preparation time. It took us more than two years from the first announcement to welcoming you all here today. Right after the first announcement, Japan suffered from the devastating triple disaster – the earthquake, followed by unimaginable level of Tsunami, and further followed by a terrible accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The triple disaster, both caused by nature and humans, has changed the whole situation in Japan. Soon after 3.11, we decided to defer the Tokyo Conference. The disaster in Japan, however, made the Tokyo Conference even more relevant in order to consider why earth system governance is indispensable. Harmonizing our lives and societies with the natural system is indeed the pressing issue. The triple-disaster teaches us again, that technology is useless unless appropriate governance is in place. We also learned that the consequences of a natural disaster may even become worse when governance is weak. And the governance failure is deeply connected to power and embedded interests. In order to learn from the recent experience, we decided to bring a special conference stream on nuclear safety and disaster-related governance in the Tokyo Conference. This stream will complement the focus of the conference on Architecture and Agency, two of the five analytical problems, also known as “5As” of the Earth System Governance project. The comprehensive policy assessment on the institutional framework for sustainable development undertaken by the Earth System Governance Project last year in the process leading up to Rio+20, showed that the existing architecture does not fit the problem structure at hand. The problems in the “Anthropocene” require reconfiguration of governance at all levels. Implementing this, however, is not an easy task. We know that political, social and economic dynamics in the 21st century are different from those in the past. Emerging agencies exert increasing amount of influence, and also new media play an important role there. Improving complex architecture requires extensive attention to and understanding of agencies. We also recognize the need for more interaction and understanding between different actors, in particular between the academic and research world and practitioners. In addition to inviting policy-makers and UN officials to our sessions, we try to follow the successful example of the Colorado Conference in 2011 to use the World Café format discussion to facilitate further interaction among participants in a creative manner so that we can learn from each other. A few new elements will be implemented at this conference. The Documentary presentation is one example, which explores possibilities to utilize media to express research results. Writing sessions are another, which is an attempt to facilitate research collaboration among researchers in the network. 2 We are hoping that the conference will enable your fruitful discussion and for the enhancement and expansion of your networks. And, first and foremost, we hope that you will enjoy the Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference! On behalf of all co-hosts, Norichika KANIE Chair, Earth System Governance Tokyo Conference Norichika Kanie Conference Chair Dear participants, Welcome to Tokyo for the 2013 open science conference of the Earth System Governance research alliance! Each year, our open science conferences bring together the earth system governance research community as well as policy makers and stakeholders to exchange the most recent findings and plan further cooperation. We are glad to share with you that after our conferences in Amsterdam (2009), Fort Collins (2011) and Lund (2012), the Tokyo Conference is the first conference of the Earth System Governance research alliance in Asia. The Earth System Governance conferences do not just take place in different locations; they also reflect the culture of the location, the local academic landscape, and most of all, the scientific interests of the local earth system governance research community. This makes each conference a unique experience and a landmark in the continuous development of earth system governance research. While all conferences follow a similar format and use well-established practices like the rigorous double-blind peer review of abstracts, each conference also adds new elements to the conference series. At the Tokyo Conference, for example, we are excited to award the first "Oran R. Young Award" for the best paper by an early-career scholars of our community. While plenary and semi-plenary sessions at past conferences were devoted exclusively to sharing insights from senior researchers, this year in Tokyo we will also have our first 3 semi-plenary session that is initiated and organized by representatives of our vibrant and rapidly expanding community of early-career researchers. The Tokyo Conference will also see the first activities of our newly established Task Force on Methodology and the launch of a new research initiative on Sustainable Development Goals. On behalf of the Earth System Governance Project, we thank the hosts of the conference: The United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS), the International Environmental Governance Architecture Research Group, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology-as well as all co-hosts and sponsors warmly for their generous support. And we thank all of you for joining the conference, for presenting your research, and for participating in the many interesting discussions that will lead, we hope, to new thinking and exciting collaboration in earth system governance research.

  • Green Economy Or Green Utopia? Rio+20 and the Reproductive Labor Class
    Green Economy or Green Utopia? Rio+20 and the Reproductive Labor Class Ariel Salleh University of Sydney [email protected] Sociologists use the concept of class variously to explain and predict people's relation to the means of production, their earnings, living conditions, social standing, capacities, and political identification. With the rise of capitalist globalization, many sociologists focus on the transnational ruling class and new economic predicaments faced by industrial workers in the world-system (see, for example, Robinson and Harris 2000). Here I will argue that to understand and respond to the current global environmental crisis, another major class formation should be acknowledged - one defined by its materially regenerative activities under "relations of reproduction" (Salleh 2010). The salience of this hypothetical third class is demonstrated by the 2012 United Nations Rio+20 summit and its official "green economy" negotiating text The Future We Want (UNCSD 2012). Clearly, the question that begs to be asked is - who is the "we" in this international document, and whose "utopia" does it serve? Part of the answer is found in a recent G20 media release, suggesting that "current high energy prices open policy space for economic incentives to renewables [...] investors are looking for alternatives given the low interest rates in developed countries, a factor that presents an opportunity for green economy projects” (Calderon 2012). The UN, together with the transnational capitalist class, looks to technology and new institutional architectures to push against the limits of living ecologies, and these measures are given legitimation as "economic necessity." Yet empirically, it is peasants, mothers, fishers and gatherers working with natural thermodynamic processes who meet everyday needs for the majority of people on earth.

  • Opposition to Dangerous MOX Fuel Plutonium from Unirradiated MOX Fuel Than from Spent Nuclear Fuel, So Prevention of Theft of MOX Fuel Is a Cause for Concern
    TOKYONov./Dec. 2008 No. 127 NUKECitizens' Nuclear INFO Information Center Akebonobashi Co-op 2F-B, 8-5 Sumiyoshi-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0065, JAPAN Phone: +81 3 3357 3800 Fax: +81 3 3357 3801 URL: http://cnic.jp/english/ e-mail : [email protected] Opposition to Dangerous MOX Fuel plutonium from unirradiated MOX fuel than from spent nuclear fuel, so prevention of theft of MOX fuel is a cause for concern. We believe the measures adopted before 9.11 are inadequate and want to know what measures have been taken to strengthen security. Unfortunately, since a 2005 amendment to the Reactor Regulation Law relating to protection of nuclear materials, the route and time of shipments, security provisions, and other information about the shipment of MOX fuel are no longer publicly disclosed. We presume that since such information is not available, the shipments themselves will take place under a veil of secrecy. History of plutonium and MOX shipments There was strong international opposition to Illustration by Shoji Takagi a plutonium shipment that took place between November 1992 and January 1993. In response to gnoring local opposition, electric power this opposition, the Japanese government decided companies are pushing ahead with preparations to have its plutonium fabricated into MOX fuel in for the introduction of pluthermal1 in 2010. So Europe, rather than ship pure plutonium to Japan. Ifar, Kyushu Electric (Genkai), Shikoku Electric In practice, this MOX fuel was to be used in Japan's (Ikata), Chubu Electric (Hamaoka) and Kansai fleet of light water reactors (LWR). The reason for Electric (Takahama) have all received approval this was that Japan was making no progress with its from local and prefectural governments and have plan to burn its ever-growing plutonium stockpile entered into contracts for the fabrication of MOX in fast breeder reactors (FBR).

  • Capitalism and Earth System Governance: an Ecological Marxist Approach
    Capitalism and Earth System Governance: An Ecological Marxist Approach Michael J. Albert Global Environmental Politics, Volume 20, Number 2, May 2020, pp. 37-56 (Article) Published by The MIT Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/758097 [ Access provided at 16 Sep 2020 13:35 GMT from School of Oriental and African Studies ] Capitalism and Earth System Governance: An Ecological Marxist Approach • Michael J. Albert* Abstract Growing recognition of the Anthropocene era has led to a chorus of calls for Earth Sys- tem Governance (ESG). Advocates argue that humanity’s newfound sociotechnical pow- ers require institutional transformations at all scales of governance to wield these powers with wisdom and foresight. Critics, on the other hand, fear that these initiatives embody a technocratic impulse that aims to subject the planet to expert management without addressing the political-economic roots of the earth system crisis. This article proposes a more affirmative engagement with existing approaches to ESG while also building on these critiques. While advocates of ESG typically ignore the capitalistic roots of the earth system crisis and propose tepid reforms that risk authoritarian expressions, their critics also have yet to systematically consider the potential for more democratic and postcap- italist forms of ESG. In response, I propose an ecological Marxist approach based on a structural analysis of capitalism as the primary driver of the earth system crisis and an “ecosocialist” vision of ESG that subordinates the market to democratic planning at mul- tiple scales. I argue that an ecological Marxist perspective is needed to foreground the structural political-economic constraints on earth system stability, though existing ap- proaches to ESG can in turn inform ecosocialist strategies for global institutional design and democratization.

Here Robert J. Oppenheimer and his staff created the first atomic bomb, "Trinity", the scientific prototype to "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," the bombs which hastened the end of World War II by leveling Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although the laboratory is today also a leading center of genetic research, it remains a place of secrecy, for its main mission is to maintain the existing nuclear arsenal - a task that hides behind the name, "Stockpile Stewardship". The secret meets the sacred upon the mesa of Los Alamos. The lab takes up forty- three square miles - indigenous land of the Tewa people from the pueblos Santa Clara and San Ildefonso. The local Indians are cut off from their traditional shrines of worship: their prayer sites are either fenced off or contaminated. One of the sacred places contains the petroglyph of Avanyu, the mythic serpent that is the guardian of the springs.
