  ◆ OUR BLUE PLANET -Uncovering Clues for a Sustainable World- ◆
  
     Every year, two major contributors to the solution of global environmental problems are selected as winners of the Blue Planet Prize.
  
     The 2018 winners were the Australian ecologist Brian Walker and the Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark.
  
  　Prof. Walker, an Honorary Research Fellow of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), has had a most significant influence on the development of the concept of resilience in social-ecological systems and has highlighted the need to increase it to maintain human society under changing circumstances.
  
  　Hydrologist, Prof. Malin Falkenmark has focused her research on the rainwater which seeps into the soil, but which nobody had previously paid much attention to. She named it 'green water'. Falkenmark developed the groundbreaking concept that it is possible to cultivate crops even on dry land if farming methods are created to use this green water effectively. She continues to advocate the importance of green water for the future of humankind as a solution to the food issues caused by population growth.
