Recently, the nature of natural resources is undergoing major changes due to the globalization of the economy and society. In this context, various measures to conserve natural resources are being introduced, such as the conservation of biodiversity, measures against global warming, promotion of a decarbonized society, and the dissemination of the concept of SDGs.
