GISPRI aims to conduct research in a broad spectrum of issues related to global resources, environment, international regimes, industry, economy, culture and society, based on its awareness that the role and responsibility of Japan in the international community has been mounting in tandem with Japan’s increasing economic and social presence. GISPRI also seeks to present policy proposals based on its research and surveys for both domestic and international entities, while promoting exchange of information and ideas to help contribute to the prosperity of the global society.
