A growing economy, increasing population and changing lifestyles are driving the demand for goods and services, such as materials, energy, and food. However, the current systems for producing and consuming these resources are unsustainable. They are shaped by poor governance structures and policies, particularly in the areas of economics and...

Achieving internationally agreed environmental, social and economic goals requires whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches (established but incomplete). These approaches can transform interconnected economic and financial, energy, food systems, materials/waste and environmental systems. Such a transformation, in turn, requires...

The global environmental crises – climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation and desertification, and pollution and waste – are damaging human well-being and hindering progress of the economic and social dimensions of all the SDGs. Addressing these crises is a prerequisite for achieving the SDGs. Therefore, environmental goals and targets...

Clean Air, Shared Future

Clean Air Week 2025
Author:
Air pollution is Southeast Asia’s leading environmental health risk and a key driver of climate change through short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon and methane. The Southeast Asia Climate & Clean Air Initiative (SEACAI), co-financed by Germany and Switzerland, demonstrates how coordinated donor action can deliver tangible...

Many cities have integrated health co-benefits into their climate plans to address cost concerns and build multi-stakeholder support for resilient, net-zero transitions. While some studies have demonstrated that cities vary in how much they link health and climate, few have examined why this is the case. This study fills this gap by using 16...

As more cities adopt resilient net-zero policies, local-level assessments of the current and future health impacts of warmer temperatures are becoming increasingly important. These assessments may be even more useful if they demonstrate how health impacts of different predicted temperatures vary across acclimatized/non-acclimatized groups. This...

太平洋島嶼国における気候変動を要因とする人の移動の現況ー若者層に着目してー

日本環境教育学会 第 36 回年次大会（北海道）
Author:
近年、気候変動の深刻化に伴い、それを要因とする人の移動が世界各地で発生している。世界銀行の Groundswell 報告書（2021）によれば、2050 年までに 2 億 1600 万人が国内移住を余儀なくされる懸念が指摘されており、東アジア・太平洋地域では 4900 万人の国内避難民が発生する可能性があるとされる。しかし、気候変動のみが移動の直接的な要因ではなく、経済や教育といった複合的な要因が絡み合うため、その実態は把握が困難であり、国際的な難民・移民政策のギャップを生んでいる。本研究は、気候変動の影響を受けやすい太平洋島嶼国から、地理的に近接するオーストラリアとニュージーランドへの人の移動に焦点を当てる。これらの国は歴史的に労働力として太平洋島嶼国の人々を受け入れてきたが...

Reggiani
Achieving the 2030 Agenda requires comprehensive follow-up and review across all levels of government. Although local governments play a critical role in implementing the sustainable development goals (SDGs), their current follow-up and review architecture — conceived from a global perspective and tailored to national reporting — ignores local...
