Economy and Environment Promotion of sustainable development requires poverty alleviation without destroying sound environmental and ecological systems that are the basis of human existence. The effectiveness and feasibility of proposed policies must also be ensured through quantitative assessment of the economic costs of implementing the policies. The Economy and Environment Group carries out policy analysis based on various economic analysis methods to reflect these aspects in the policy recommendations of IGES research groups. In addition, the theme of 'trade and environment' is becoming more and more important in the Asia-Pacific region where the process of regional economic integration is accelerating. The group conducts research on this theme using trade analysis techniques.   | Outline | Activities | Publications & Report | JAPANESE | What's New?   Research activities leaflet (PDF, 875KB) Featured website for Rio+20 Group members Rio+20 Commentary:Key Issues on Green Economy at Rio+20 Identified from the Review of the Zero Draft and National Perspectives(Kei Kabaya, Associate Researcher) Activity: International Symposium on MRV Mitigation Actions: "MRVtt Capacity Building in Asia towards the Establishment of New Market Mechanisms" (6 March 2012, Tokyo) Activity:International Symposium"Sustainable Resource Use: Issues and Policies with Special Reference to Asia"(13 January 2012, Tokyo) Press Release: IGES submitted "The IGES Proposal" to UNDESA (Rio+20 Secretariat) Towards and beyond Rio+20 - Promoting “resilient” economy, society and environment is the key (8 Nov. 2011) Activity: Input for regional preparatory process on Rio+20: Brief report of ISAP2011 and key messages towards Asia and the Pacific (19-20 Oct. 2011 Seoul, Korea) IGES Policy Brief #015(October 2011) Energy Market Integration in East Asia: What an Economic Analysis Tells Us?
