| Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA)-SD Project: Mainstreaming Sustainable Development Policies in East Asia |
|
The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), proposed
by the Japanese Government, endorsed at the 3rd East Asia Summit (EAS) in November 2007.
IGES will conduct the ERIA-SD Project "Mainstreaming Sustainable Development Policies in East Asia" since FY2008 as a three-year project.

| Network of East Asian Think-Tanks (NEAT) Environment Working Group |
|
Network of East Asian Think-tanks (NEAT) is a network for researchers
established in 2003 with the aims of providing policy recommendations to the
ASEAN+3 (ASEAN & Japan, China and Republic of Korea) Summit and intellectual
support for cooperation in East Asia. In April 2008 NEAT will newly
establish the Environment Working Group, co-chaired by Japan and Singapore,
which deals with regional environmental issues in East Asia. The Working
Group plans to focus on climate change issues in FY2008 and 3R in FY2009,
and IGES as a whole will contribute to this process by providing research
outputs.

| IGES Strategy Fund Research: CO2 Embodied in International Trade |
|
Current national GHG inventory adopted by the UNFCCC is based on territorial responsibility and Polluter-Pay-Principle. This could induce carbon leakage associated with relocation of carbon intensive production from Annex I countries to non-Annex I countries and the increase of imports of carbon rich goods from non-Annex I countries to Annex I countries. In both cases, accounting and allocating CO2 embodied in international trade are key issues. This research examines different responsibility-sharing principles and their implications for climate policies at both national and international level. China, India, Japan, USA, five ASEAN countries and EU are selected for an empirical analysis using multi-region input-output (MRIO) model. This research will quantitatively analyze the influence of different allocating schemes on national GHG inventory and provide policy implications for both Annex I countries, non-Annex I countries and global GHG mitigation. This research is internally funded by IGES strategy fund.
