Keywords:
SDGs,Biogeosciences
The six major fields in the Biogeosciences Section are Astrobiology, Geomicrobiology, Origin of Life, Biogeochemistry, Paleoenvironmental Science, and Evolutionary Paleontology. These fields are basic science fields that provides a bird's-eye view of the Earth's history from its birth to the future, and an understanding of the various conditions of the Earth as a planet inhabited by life, and based on such knowledge, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be understood. The main goals of the SDGs, which are directly or indirectly related to the keywords "Earth", "Life", "Environment", and "Diversity" are "13 Climate Action", "14 Life below Water", and "15 Life on Land". In addition, JpGU can make a significant contribution to "4 Quality Education" by returning the knowledge gained through research to society at large and promoting open science, where anyone can access the knowledge and data. In the future, the Biogeosciences Section will consider visualizing the relationship between research activities and the SDGs.
