In this study, we extracted above-ground biomass (AGB) information for forests in different ecological zones of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) by integrating freely-available global AGB, forest, and ecological zone map products. Our objective was to assess the suitability of the data and proposed approach for national reporting of...

CSA projects needs to be bankable. i.e. the project addresses/considers all known financial and economic risks and yields solid financial and economic performance while providing climate benefits. 1. Design synergistic CSA practices meeting dual objectives: climate change risk and vulnerability reduction and GHG mitigation 2. Wherever appropriate...

This research is a new data-based evaluation of the prospects for implementing measures against open burning in Thailand. More specifically, it presents a systematic analysis of the potential obstacles to the implementation of the combustion regulations included in Thailand's PM2.5 countermeasures plan in terms of economics, technology...

IGES Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Database provides detailed information on the JCM methodologies, projects, and JCM feasibility studies to be utilized for research and development of JCM project. The JCM is being implemented under bilateral cooperation between Japan and 29 partner countries: Mongolia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, Viet...

Thai highlands are characterized by high heterogeneity in vertical and horizontal planes in terms of microclimate, geographical, and socio-economic factors that determine the nature of agriculture practised and livelihoods. Highland agriculture is rapidly changing as commercial farming and plantations are being introduced with detrimental impacts...

Using the available information sources and an econometric approach for the time series dataset, this study tests the price volatility of the national carbon market, and identifies the interactions between electricity, carbon and fossil fuel prices in China. The result confirms an overreaction of carbon market prices to the considered events. There...

Urban green spaces (UGS) significantly influence the distribution of surface heat and play a crucial role in regulating surface temperature. However, the quantitative relationship between UGS and surface temperature remains unclear, necessitating further research. This study aims to predict surface temperature based on green space information from...

Integration of solar photovoltaics on croplands (“agrivoltaics”) has been promoted as an environmentally-friendly approach for solar energy deployment. Past studies, however, have not considered that these croplands could alternatively be used as sites for expanding agroforestry, a practice which provides important ecosystem services to the...

In a transition to a net-zero world, large-scale solar PV diffusion is essential in the Philippines and the entire ASEAN region, since its potential is much larger than wind and other renewable energies. Considering the vulnerability of the Philippines and accelerating climate change, it is also vital to make sure that net-zero transition based on...
