Mikiko Kainuma, IGES Research Advisor, has been selected as one of the 15th Group of Inductees into the Earth Hall of Fame Kyoto. The Earth Hall of Fame Kyoto is an award to honour in perpetuity those who have made significant contributions to preserving the global environment. There have been two previous Earth Hall of Fame inductees from IGES: the late Akira Miyawaki, Honorary Director of IGES - Japanese Center for International Studies in Ecology (JISE) in 2014, and Shuzo Nishioka, Senior Research Advisor at IGES, in 2022. Dr. Kainuma becomes the third member to receive this honour. Mikiko Kainuma has been conducting long-standing research on global warming and climate change since 1990, and served as a lead author for the IPCC 1.5°C Special Report in 2018. The Earth Hall of Fame Kyoto selected her in recognition of her contributions to "indicating the comparison between global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and disseminating insights that strengthened the global long-term goal from 2°C to 1.5°C."

EU-Japan Subnational Climate Action Workshop : Exchanges between Cities in Europe and Japan - Opportunities for a Resilient Future (29-30 May)
The European Union (EU) and Japan formed a Green Alliance in 2021 to accelerate their respective transition towards a climate-neutral, circular and resource-efficient economy over the coming decades. The alliance has been seen as an important commitment for the implementation of the European Green Deal and Japan’s Green Growth Strategy. To further this commitment, the Delegation of the European Union to Japan and IGES will organise a workshop on 29 and 30 May aiming to facilitate exchange between EU and Japanese cities through sharing good practices and solutions taken by leading cities. This workshop will contribute to the discussion on how the EU and Japan can enhance cooperation at the city level in order to meet the shared goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
