本業務報告書は、令和３年度フィリピンにおける河川流域と沿岸域での適応事業化支援業務の成果を報告するものである。本業務は、自然を基盤とした解決策の知見整理業務、参加型河川流域土地利用方法論を用いた適応事業化支援業務、および参加型沿岸域土地利用方法論を用いた適応事業化支援業務の三業務によって構成される。 自然を基盤とした解決策の知見整理業務は、近年国際場裡で注目をあつめる、気候変動を含む多様な社会課題に対して自然を活用して対処する様々な手法を包摂する概念としての「自然を基盤とした解決策（Nature-based Solutions、以下、単にNbSとする）」について、幅広く情報収集を行った上で、それらをわかりやすく紹介するウェブサイトとして整理する業務であった。業務の成果として...

A city region is a unit comprising an urban core and surrounding peri-urban and, occasionally, rural areas. The Regional Circulating and Ecological Sphere (R-CES) proposed by the Japanese government is a guiding approach for policymaking that prioritises the harmonised flow of resources between urban and rural areas, low-carbon society, circular...

Reversing ecosystem degradation and halting global biodiversity loss due to climate change and other anthropogenic drivers are essential for socio-economic development and human wellbeing, as well as for advancing global sustainability. The latest initiative in this direction is the ‘Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework’, which establishes a...

（Japanese title: 世界のマングローブ林面積・変化（GMW）） This submission provides our input for the first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement. Our input focuses on a satellite-based map of global mangrove extent and changes: Global Mangrove Watch (GMW). Summary of the submission: Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including coastal and marine NbS, such as...

Observed surface air temperature has increased in the 20th century all over Asia (high confidence1). Asian countries are experiencing a hotter summer climate, resulting in an increase in energy demand for cooling at a rapid rate, together with population growth (high confidence). A decrease in precipitation influences energy demand as well, as...

Changes in demography, land-use land cover and local climate have had a cumulative effect on local water bodies, resulting in unfavorable hydrological, ecological and environmental changes in major river systems. Communities on isolated riverine islands are particularly badly affected due to their poor adaptive capacities, a situation that is well...

As climate change will lead to more severe and frequent weather-related hazards, the need to deal with compound and cascading disasters has become an emerging issue. The e-learning course “Building resilience to compound and cascading disaster risks” under AP-PLAT capacity development programs objects for the local/national government officers to...

The connections between the scientific findings and SDG-6 are often not clear, which results in increasing the gap between technical developments and academic discourse, and the policy practitioners and/or implementers. The present paper explores the existing scientific research on water that directly connects to SDG 6 using the bibliometric...

Despite confronting severe climatic risks, many people prefer to remain in climate hazard-prone areas rather than migrate. Environmental non-migration behavior, however, has gained relatively little research attention in the field of migration processes. This study aims to unveil the determinants motivating voluntary environmental non-migration...

Although many researchers highlight the benefits of Urban Green Spaces (UGS) to city dwellers, understanding of residents’ emotional association with UGS remains an incomplete and exciting area of place research. In this study, we conducted an empirical assessment of residents’ Place Attachment (PA) towards UGS in the Greater Tokyo region. For this...
