International Joint Research Project for Global Change and Industrial Transformation
Urban Policy Integration of Energy Related Environmental Issues in Selected Asian Mega-cities
(Duration: 2001-2003)

The Project was Launched in April 2001 with Funding Support
from Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN),
Global Change System for Analysis, Research and Training
(START) and Several Other Funding Organizations. The Project
Focuses on the Dynamics of Industrial Transformation Taking
Place in Asian Cities and Analysis of the Environmental
Implications, Particularly with Regard to Energy Consumption
and GHG Emissions. The Study Aims to Collect GHG Budget Data
of Selected Mega-Cities in Asia, to Present Future Scenarios
for GHG Emissions and Carbon Cycles of the Cities to 2020,
and to Identify the Drivers that Cause Such Changes. The Study
Focuses on Sectors and Activities of Selected Mega-Cities to
Identify Areas for Potentially Effective Countermeasures
Through the Adoption of Locally Operational Policy Instruments.
Thence, the Research is to Provide Special Consideration and
Detailed Analysis of Transportation, Residential and Commercial
Sectors, Buildings, Urban Infrastructure, and Lifestyles of
Residents. This Study also Aims to Generate Discussion on the
Role of Cities in Achieving Sustainable and Cleaner Utilization
of Resource and Energy.

This project is executed and coordinated by IGES in collaborations
with researchers from Japan, Korea, China, India and Philippines.
