Upon the invitation by Solid Waste Management Association of the Philippines (SWAPP) to make a presentation on behalf of CCAC-IGES for our ongoing project in the Philippines, I made a presentation on the topic "Development of National Action plan for reduction of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) from Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in...

Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is considered as a primary driver of climate change, is responsible for slightly more than half of the total current warming impact from human-caused emissions (EESI, 2013). Emitted CO2 remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, creating warming effect even the new CO2 level reduce to zero. Therefore, the strategies...

Poly-tunnels also known as greenhouses are used mostly by farmers to grow crops inside the poly-tunnels by maintaining heat especially in winter. The structure of poly-tunnels helps to warm plants, soil and other things inside faster than heat can escape from the poly-tunnels. Due to extreme cold weather, most of the places in around Tsukuba, the...

This brief summarises the proceedings and outcomes of the 1st CCET webinar which was held on 25 July 2017 at the Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center in line with the International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) 2017. It is aimed to provide a step wise guideline on how national and local authorities can undertake practical and...

Enhancing resource productivity is effective to improve trade-off between the environment and economy. For minimizing consumption of natural resources required for economic activities, it is necessary to strengthen both material recycling and energy utilization, which reduce final disposal amount and return waste to economic activities as resource...

A growing population and urbanization is a challenge for finite natural resources. Without strict regulation to recycle, recover and reuse resources, waste is discarded with no value. Every year throughout the world, more than twenty-five million vehicles turn into end-of-life vehicles (ELV) and most of their valuable resources end up in landfill...

Each year, more than 25 million vehicles reach their end-of-life (ELV) throughout the world and this number is rising rapidly with time. Most of the developed countries like Japan and EU nations have strict policies to manage the ELV in efficient way. In this research we aim to clarify the impact of end-of life-vehicles (ELV) regulation on...

A unique GHG emission decline target was released by the Chinese government to facilitate the decrease in GHG emission per unit of GDP in China. In other words, an increase in GHG is permitted under a GDP reflecting a better quality environment quality. Therefore, technology promotion and policy evolution are necessary to realize this within a...

Environmental policies are designed to deal with externalities either by internalizing environmental costs or imposing specific standards for environmental pollution. This study aims to examine the impact of environmental regulations related to End-of Life Vehicles (ELV) on innovation in Japan. We determined whether there is any statistical...
