Context
Today, global environmental issues such as climate change, ocean pollution, loss of forests and biodiversity and pandemics of infectious diseases on a global scale make 'Planetary Health' the most pressing issue for our life
In order to tackle such challenges, it is essential that industry, government and academia in each country research and promote bioscience beyond the borders of traditional research and industrial fields
With its excellent universities, companies, research institutions and researchers, Japan has the potential to lead the world in bioscience, but has yet to make a sufficient contribution.
