It demonstrates how climate change disrupts food systems through impacts on crop yields, fisheries, and supply chains, while interacting with socio-economic inequalities, governance failures, and competing resource demands to produce...

There has been broad recognition that current food systems need to go through a process of transformation and transition. In the similar way that other areas have transitioned to be more sustainable, the transition process for food systems has some issues related to justice in terms of achieving more sustainable and inclusive food production...

Food sharing platforms can also provide an entry point to the sustainability transition by encouraging its users to confront the systemic causes of unsustainable and inequitable...

本ガイドラインは、アジアの開発途上国の都市を対象に、有機性廃棄物の発生源での分別と、都市廃棄物処理施設における好気性発酵による堆肥化の活用を図ることに焦点を当てている。 またこのガイドラインは、堆肥化の妥当性を検討するための技術的知見をほとんど、あるいは一切持っていない地方の政策立案者や意思決定者を対象に、廃棄物処理の改善に向けての適切な戦略の選択肢としての堆肥化の導入について、その実現可能性の評価を支援することを目的としている。 このガイドラインは、 （1）堆肥化についてその長所と短所、および持続可能な堆肥化の立案のための技術的および非技術的側面について必要となる諸条件を始めとする堆肥システムの全体像を説明し、 （2）堆肥化プロジェクトの導入可能性を検討するに際して...

In the face of the severe impacts of anthropogenic climate change, recognition of the climate crisis has been largely shared worldwide. The climate crisis is just one symptom of ecological overshoot; humans are currently using more resources and producing more waste than Earth can sustain. Biodiversity loss and resource depletion have also been...

We are living beyond our ecological means and experiencing both very serious impacts on...

私達の日々の暮らしを営む行動、例えば食べる、移動する、家を暖めたり冷やしたりする、家族の世話をする、働くといった行動は、環境のサステナビリティに大きな影響を与える要素の1つである。私達は、地球や地域の環境容量を超えたものを消費し、生物多様性、生態系や気候に取り返しのつかない影響を及ぼしている。それだけではない。現在の私達の暮らしは、社会的な不平等を広げ、心と体の健康を害している。経済発展と都市化が多くの国で続くと予想されるなかで、私達の大量消費型の暮らしを、環境や社会への影響が少ない責任ある暮らしに変えていく必要がある。また同時に、多くの社会において、人々が環境、経済や社会の状況の急激な変化に見舞われ、安定と安全を欠く暮らしをしているということも事実である。私達は...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had various impacts on our living conditions. and lifestyles. The restrictions, lockdowns, and changes in behaviour patterns that emerge also present an opportunity to reassess both the sustainability of status quo living and the new conditions arising from the chain reaction of COVID-induced changes. In particular, the...
