Global Environment, COP, and Antiaging Medicine

As a result of changes in the global environment caused by human activities, mankind is facing a serious situation due to many environmental problems surrounding the earth. These problems include climate change, represented by global warming, which is causing the earth’s temperature to rise, the loss of biodiversity due to changes in living environments, and environmental pollution of the oceans, soil, and atmosphere. Environmental issues related to climate change include sea-level rise, forest fires, desertification, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer, and other extremely serious crises on earth, primarily caused by global warming, which have been addressed first and foremost at the COP (Conference of the Parties). The Kyoto Protocol, which became the international rule for global warming measures until 2020, was adopted at COP3 held in Kyoto in 1997, in the history of COP.
