Fluvial sediment fluxes are reshaping coastal water colour, geomorphology, and ecological processes, yet schemes based on single-river loads or shoreline change may miss land-sea responses. We combine SSC records from 19 river stations across nine Chinese basins (2004-2024) with MODIS reflectance to characterize clearing, brightening, regional...

新世界無秩序（New World Disorder）時代の環境と経済：米中のエネルギー・テクノロジー覇権をめぐって

環境新聞にて連載中の「シャオリュウの中国環境ウオッチ」では、地球環境戦略研究機関（IGES）北京事務所長の小柳秀明が、中国の環境の現状と対策を毎月報告しています。

Changes in land use over space and time are key drivers of water pollution. However, current studies on landuse–water-quality relationships in small watersheds are insufficient to support regional development. Comparative research across large-scale watersheds can better inform water environmental protection, yet such studies remain limited. This...

This research aims to contribute to the new scientific knowledge related to the adaptation and climate resilient development strategies. In particular, cultural heritage is a new element for the Global Goals on Adaptation (GGA) in the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, which was adopted in Dubai 2023. Creating new scientific knowledge on...

ホルムズ海峡封鎖で露呈したエネルギー安全保障の脆弱性―再生可能エネルギーの拡大を急げ―

Non-economic loss and damage (NELD) associated with climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical yet under-assessed dimension of climate risk, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Africa. This study presents an analytical framework for synthesizing evidence from a systematic literature review conducted under the ASCEND initiative...

Presentation at the year-end project meeting : Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region, coordinated by International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (IRCI)

Plastic pollution is a growing challenge in Southeast Asia, where rapid urbanisation and rising consumption are driving sharp increases in plastic waste. While traditional regulations such as plastic bans and information campaigns are important, they often fail to shift deeply ingrained consumption and waste management habits on their own. This new...
