Although water is a vital finite resource for sustaining life, it is under constant pressure from anthropogenic activities. Among the different types of surface water, lakes are particularly difficult to restore once water quality deteriorates due to their hydrological cycles and complex dynamics. This study compares policy implementation and its...

With nearly 70 % of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, cities will need to manage energy transitions to achieve ambitious carbon neutrality goals. As the current rate of decarbonization in cities is too slow to achieve these ambitious goals, feasible pathways toward deep decarbonization are becoming increasingly urgent...

Japan is considered a water-rich country. Yet, recent socioecological history suggests that the country has undergone some drastic changes in its water environment as an extended effect of its post-war industrialization and urbanization. On the other hand, Japan also houses ingenious and time-tested methods of water management in its traditional...
Commentary (Op. Ed)
2024年11月25日のNDC合同会合で事務局が提示した日本の排出削減目標案の根拠となったシナリオ分析について、世界全体の1.5℃目標とどのような関係にあるかを検討し、以下の点を指摘する。(1) 世界モデルで評価しているRITEのシナリオ分析に基づくと、排出削減経路として「上に凸」をとれば、日本の排出削減ペースは先進国だけでなく世界全体に比べても緩やかなものになる。 (2) 日本が直線的な削減経路をとった場合、国際合意の根拠となっている1.5℃目標に向けた世界の排出削減経路に比べて削減が遅くなる。 (3) 分析された、先進国は直線的削減かつ世界全体で1.5℃目標を維持しようとするシナリオは、世界全体での排出削減ペースが遅く、1.5℃目標達成に向けてリスクが大きい。
