CEPEX, in conjunction with the CU Center for Asian Studies, hosted its first ever seminar on U.S.-Japan environmental sustainability at the University of Colorado, Boulder on Tuesday, November 8th. The event was a huge success with approximately 60 students, educators, and members of the community braving snowy weather to attend. The event brought together those passionate about sustainability and the U.S.-Japan alliance. In addition, it raised awareness and introduced others to the relationship through the three expert panelists who  discussed the differing approaches to education and sustainability practices: Dan Bihn, Eric Wilson, and Dai Kato. Their bios can be found here.   A networking reception was held afterwards where scholars and students mingled over appetizers and exchanged ideas for improving environmental knowledge and practice in both countries.
