This research focuses on the urban expansion occurring in the Kamrup Metropolitan District—an area experiencing significant urbanization—with the aim of understanding its patterns and projecting future growth. The research covers the period from 2000 to 2022 and projects growth up to 2052, providing insights for sustainable urban planning. The...

Dynamic monitoring of reservoir water storage in arid areas is important for water resources assessment, hydroelectric power generation and agricultural irrigation. However, existing reservoir water calculation methods often rely on in-situ measurements, which limits their application in data scarce regionals and for regional scale analyses. Hence...

Environmental infrastructure is essential for the common good. Addressing sustainability crises and fostering environmental movements require accelerated deployment of environmental infrastructure. While such infrastructure is necessary, Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) attitudes have remained due to concerns such as air, water, and noise pollution. We...

For almost a decade, countries have been working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet progress on the SDGs across countries, as well as across the 17 goals, has proven frustratingly slow. Even countries that have performed relatively well on the SDGs may have done so by causing negative externalities, such as environmental...

The Mekong Delta, South East Asia's ‘rice bowl’, sustains more than 18 million people through its agricultural output. This yield is secured by efficient water management systems but is susceptible to climatic changes. As Vietnam's policies aim to optimize the delta's semi-mountainous regions reliant on rain-fed agriculture, this study investigates...

This template is for the Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) exercises. It is for practicing reporting mitigation actions, policies and measures for implementing and achieving a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The MLP exercsies aim to enhnace the understanding of reporting for the preperation of the Biennial...

This template is for the Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) exercises. It is for practicing reporting assumptions and methodologies for estimating GHG emission reductions of mitigation actions, policies and measures for implementing and achieving a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The MLP exercsies aim to enhnace the...

This template is for the Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) exercises. It is for practicing reporting of the information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). The MLP exercsies aim to enhnace the understanding of reporting for the preperation of the Biennial...

This research investigates the potential of utilizing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled sand (RS), derived from crushed concrete cubes, as sustainable alternatives in construction materials. The study comprehensively evaluates the properties of RCA and RS, focusing on workability, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and compressive...

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of green industrial policy strategies recently advanced by the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), and extends insights to the evolving policy landscape in Japan. Its analysis underscores how the European strategy is characterized by a systematic approach that balances emissions constraints...
