Reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) were a possible desirable side effect of these reforms. In recent years, concerns over climate change have prompted state governments in the United States to...
Japanese companies have pioneered the development of a large number of low-carbon technologies (LCTs). As a rapidly expanding economy with burgeoning energy requirements, India offers a significant potential market for Japanese LCTs. The industry sector in India accounts for a significant share of commercial energy use and hence carbon dioxide (CO2...

公益財団法人地球環境戦略研究機関(IGES)は、内閣官房と外務省が意見募集した「持続可能な開発目標(SDGs)に関する自発的国家レビュー(VNR)」に対して、パブリックコメントを提出しました。
SDGsの達成に向けた取り組みを着実なものとするためには、SDGsの実施をモニタリングし、レビュー(評価)し、その結果に基づいて取り組みの改善を図るプロセスが非常に重要であるため、SDGsを承認した国連加盟国は、自発的国家レビュー(Voluntary National Review:VNR)という形で進捗を報告することが求められています。
VNRは毎年7月に開催されている「国連持続可能な開発のためのハイレベル政治フォーラム(HLPF)」で発表が行われており、日本政府は2017年7月に最初の...
本稿は、コロナ禍における大気汚染・気候変動・保健の関係性を説明し、これらの課題に対する統合的なアプローチの必要性を強調している。各国でコロナ復興策が決定される中、より良い復興を実現するには、短期的にはコロナ対策を実施し、長期的には温室効果ガス(GHG)を多く排出するような開発を避けるといった、統合的な判断が鍵となる。IGESのトリプルRフレームワークを活用し、大気の質や気候、ひいては健康の向上につながるための統合的な取り組みについて述べている。
本稿は、Asian Co-benefits Partnershipのポリシーブリーフ(英語のみ)の一部を基に再構成されたものである。
