温暖化のリスクと 1.5℃に抑える道筋：1.5℃目標達成には真のトランジションが必要

Accelerating actions for leveraging a climate-neutral sustainable society

The establishment of the Leveraging a Climate-neutral Society–strategic Research Network (LCS–RNet) (then named the International Research Network for Low Carbon Societies) was proposed at the Group of Eight (G8) Environment Ministers’ Meeting in 2008. Its 12th annual meeting in December 2021 focused on the discussion on how to transition into a...

Bhutan is already facing significant impacts of climate change due to its mountainous and glacial terrain. The 1.5-degree scenario is a tipping point for glacial melting and water stability in Bhutan. It is therefore absolutely crucial to develop alternative options to deal with any catastrophic situation. The results of this research demonstrate...

Transition to a sustainable net zero society is an urgent task, and if it is to be achieve, it will be essential to have the participation of citizens who are responsible for climate damage and emission reduction. Climate citizens’ assemblies have been held mainly in Europe since around 2019. A climate citizens’ assembly is a meeting where...

Since the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2021, global society, including Asian countries, has entered the phase of how to implement a long-term transition roadmap to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Given vital needs for the development in many Asian countries, a...

This presentation was a part of MOEJ-IIASA collaboration project B (Bhutan case study), which focused on the alternative scenario analysis (SSP1 and SSP2) for the transition of energy-food-water and health nexus solutions in Bhutan.

脱炭素化社会は単に温室効果ガス排出量がネットゼロになる社会ではなく、公正で持続可能な社会であり、それをいかに実現するかが大きな課題となっている。本稿は昨年度環境省からの「国際脱炭素化社会研究調査等委託業務」のもと実施したインタビューや、気候中立社会実現のための戦略研究ネットワーク（LCS-RNet）年次会合での発表のうち、公正で持続可能な移行に関連するものを取り上げ、著者の考察を加えたものである。
