Abstract

Even if we are vaguely aware of the "environmental" problems around us, we are surprisingly unaware of them. Based on questions from elementary and junior high school students, the book explains the global environment and its problems with illustrations. Efforts toward the SDGs are spreading, but learning about the global environment itself is also the first step toward solving the problems.
