In Wetlands Ecology and Management
In Vietnam, where domestic wastewater significantly contributes to water pollution, innovative treatment solutions are urgently needed. This study assesses the effectiveness of subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetlands (CWs) for decentralized domestic wastewater treatment, focusing on systems planted with Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum)...
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has launched its first Methane Reduction Roadmap, reinforcing its leadership as a Global Methane Pledge Champion. Methane is a potent short-lived climate pollutant, more than 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions offers rapid climate benefits, improved...
Institute for Global Environmental Strategies FY2024 Annual Report
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world’s largest environmental network to advance nature conservation and sustainable development, with members including governments, civil society, Indigenous Peoples’ organizations, scientists, and businesses. Every four years, IUCN convenes its World Conservation Congress (WCC), a...
Asia Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development
National‐scale monitoring of mangrove forests, including their spatial structure (e.g., canopy height and above‐ground biomass), is necessary for the implementation of global agreements related to climate change and biodiversity conservation. Field measurements of mangrove structural parameters, however, are costly to collect. Here, we investigated...
In Risk Analysis
Landslides have become increasingly frequent and destructive in Uttarakhand, leading to substantial loss of life and significant damage to infrastructure. This research focuses on generating a detailed landslide susceptibility map for a selected area in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, by integrating remote sensing and geographical information system...
In Thematic Assessment Report on the Interlinkages among Biodiversity, Water, Food and Health
Understanding future interactions between nexus elements through the analysis of scenarios and other diverse visions of the future, including the understandings of IPLC, is critical to support policy and management actions today and contribute to sustainable resource management and just outcomes for nature and people. Scenarios of continuation of...

In Environmental Science & Policy
Lifestyle changes are an essential, complementary measure for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, also an important ingredient to climate policy. Computational models of lifestyle changes and their contribution to climate change mitigation can provide valuable insights in support of decision-making by individuals and policymaking. In...
Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop on Scaling Climate Solutions in Agrifood Systems: Climate-Smart Technologies, Carbon Market Pathways and COP30 Preparation
Agrifood systems in Asia-Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, facing risks from floods, droughts, and shifting weather patterns, while also contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the sector offers enormous potential for adaptation and mitigation through climate-smart practices, innovative...
In Earth Systems and Environment
The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is undergoing increasing disruption to its sediment–water continuum due to upstream hydropower development, regional land use change, and climate variability. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and streamflow are key indicators of the delta’s ecological stability and agricultural productivity, yet their recent...
