An introduction for protected and conserved area practitioners

In many developing countries, people rely on inefficient stoves fuelled by bio-mass, coal and manure for cooking. The fine particulates (PM2.5) emitted from these stoves not only harm human health, but they also disrupt climate systems. Un-fortunately, economic, technological, social and institutional barriers have often slowed the widespread...

This report is about the project with a purpose to promote cooperation on Co-benefits-type air pollution measures mainly in Asia. IGES provided advice to MOEJ on the activities of international organisations; supporting international SLCP mitigation activities such as the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short Lived Climate Pollutants...

This report is for FY2021 contract work with the Ministry of Environment, Japan as the Secretariat of the Asian Co-benefits Partnership (ACP) for the international partnership for promotion of co-benefits approach.

COP26に向け、多くの国がカーボンニュートラルやネットゼロ、またはそれに近い野心的な目標を掲げた。これまで目標の多くは、二酸化炭素削減（CO2）に焦点が当てられてきた。将来世代が温暖化による最悪の事態を避けるため、長期的にCO2の大幅削減を目指すのは当然である。一方で、CO2削減より迅速に気候変動を緩和できる可能性として、メタンなど短寿命気候汚染物質（SLCP）削減の重要性への認識も高まっている。

グローバルメタン誓約や、SLCP削減に取り組む国際パートナーシップ（CCAC）の新戦略等、今回のCOPに合わせ、米国やEUが旗振り役となり加速した国際社会のメタン排出削減の動きを紹介する。

Key Messages

• A reason COVID-19 has had such far-reaching impacts is it stems from multiple interconnected risks. The difficulties that policymakers face in managing related risks not only deepen vulnerabilities to COVID-19 but other planetary crises.
• Explicitly recognizing and acting to achieve the co-benefits of integrated air pollution...

The Asian countries have diverse economic profiles, energy consumption patterns, greenhouse emissions, climatic conditions and socio-political landscapes. These dynamics bring into focus that drawing a uniform framework to define the energy transition process for the region is a difficult task. Keeping in view of this reality, this book identifies...
