In this paper we pointed out a hidden inequality in accounting for trade-related emissions in the presence of border carbon adjustment. Under a domestic carbon pricing policy, producers pay for the carbon costs in exchange for the right to emit. Under border carbon adjustment, however, the exporting country pays for the carbon costs of their...

From 1971 to 2010, world trade grew fast by 10% per year on average (World Trade Organization 2011). The rapid growth of international trade contributes not only national economic growth but also increasing environmental pressures, such as raw material extraction and depletion, carbon emissions, water resource deterioration and landscape change and...

For effective and practical implementation of border carbon adjustment, it is crucial to determine the carbon content of imports/exports. In this paper we discussed two criteria. One is direct carbon emissions, which accounts for direct emissions generated from production. The other is embodied emissions which accounts for the total emissions...

The training modules developed from training needs assessment carried out during 2010-2011 were further pilot tested and modified. The pilot testing of training modules was carried out for two levels of agriculture extension officers i.e. district and upazila agriculture officers and Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers operating at the village level...

　現在アジアの開発途上国では、産業活動の集中がもたらす負の影響に対処するための懸命な取り組みが行われている。産業エコロジー理論の影響を受けた多くの地域では、経済発展を阻害せずに産業の環境負荷を軽減する戦略として、エコタウンやエコインダストリアルパークが推進されている。これらのエコアプローチが採用されているのは、現時点ではまだ都市部を拠点とする従来の製造業に限られているが、製造業を中心とする国々にとっては優れたモデルとなる。 　一方、従来型の製造業だけでなく新たな産業の導入を進めている国の場合は、農村地域、特にまだ自然が残る都市農村境界域に開発のチャンスが秘められている。これらの地域では既に、原材料の供給源と都市部市場への平等なアクセスを目的とした新興産業のクラスターが形成されているが...

Developing countries in Asia are struggling to cope with the negative impacts of concentrated industrial activities. Inspired by the theory of industrial ecology, eco-towns or eco-industrial parks are frequently promoted in many localities as a strategy for reducing the environmental burden of industry in a way that is consistent with economic...

The goal of the Forest Conservation Project is to develop strategies for desirable forest conservation and sustainable forest management. Although many approaches should be taken into consideration to achieve this goal, the project has set a precise objective for its second phase of research (April 2001 to March 2004): to propose concrete measures...

The coastal areas of Bangladesh are vulnerable to natural disasters, especially from cyclones and tidal surges. Since 1958 most of the coast has been protected by the construction of embankments and sluice gates. No impact study was conducted before doing this construction. Today, however, ecological, social, economic, and cultural impacts can be...
