[Inductees]

Kainuma Mikiko (Born in 1950), Japan
（Research Advisor, Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES),Honorary Director General, National Institute for Environmental Studies）
Following the 2℃ target (and 1.5℃ challenge) agreed in the Paris Agreement, the IPCC Special Report on 1.5℃ published in 2018 identified that the temperature rise between 2℃ and 1.5℃ had significant differences in impact. As one of the authors, she disseminated these findings, reinforcing the long-term goal from 2℃ to 1.5℃ in the Paris Agreement.

Partha Dasgupta (Born in 1942), England
（Frank Ramsey Emeritus Professor, University of Cambridge）
Over the course of 40 years of research, he has completed “The Economics of Biodiversity”, a work that aims to make significant contributions to the fields of economics through its links to population, consumption and the biosphere.

By publishing works such as “Economics Theory and Exhaustible Resources”, he provides the guiding principles for a new environmental study of economics.

 

Satoshi Yamagishi (Born in 1939), Japan
（Honorary Director General, Yamashina Institute for Ornithology）
He was engaged with research on the speciation of the Sickle-billed Vanga found in the Republic of Madagascar, where he has contributed to the understanding of the island’s mechanisms of biodiversity. For example, he published the book “A field guide to the birds of Madagascar” in both Japanese and Malagasy, which was dedicated and donated to the children in Madagascar. Furthermore, he has contributed to the development of “behavioral ecology” both domestically and internationally through activities including training many researchers engaged in the study of bird’s breeding behaviors.
