「まえがき」より 我々を取り巻く環境が変化していることは、もはや周知の事実である。異常気象・慢性的な気候変動・環境悪化は、今やますます業務運営に支障を生じさせ、より広範なシステム全体へのショックを引き起こしている。サプライチェーンの寸断から、資産の損傷・インフラへの衝撃・公衆衛生の危機・地域社会の崩壊に至るまで—多くの企業がすでにその影響を肌で感じている。そして、脅威はニュースの見出しを飾るような大災害だけにとどまらない。目立たず、じわじわと慢性的に進行する悪影響が、静かに企業価値を蝕んでいるのである。しかも、それらは多くの場合、既存のシステムでは予兆を検知することも、管理することも難しい形で進行していく。 （中略） ビジネスリーダーであるCEOには今こそ...

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...

Strategy planning for global climate goals requires structured, multisectoral data linking environmental pressures with socioeconomic drivers across time and geography. However, internationally harmonized, machine-actionable datasets integrating waste generation, waste-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and socioeconomic indicators remain...

Tropical peatlands in Indonesia are increasingly degraded by conventional oil palm practices involving drainage and chemical fertilizers. This study evaluates AeroHydro Culture (AHC), a method applying microbe-enriched organic media aboveground, as a sustainable alternative that maintains high groundwater levels while supporting plant productivity...

Various studies have been conducted on the barriers to climate change adaptation in specific contexts, but they often focus only on particular sectors. This research aims to comprehensively assess the barriers to climate change adaptation across various stakeholder sectors at the city level. The case study in Semarang City is expected to provide...

While global resource use and GHG emissions keep increasing, the circular economy (CE) has ascended to the forefront of global policy, business and research agendas. Through narrower, slower, and more closed material cycles, the CE aims to avoid waste and reduce virgin raw material demand, thereby potentially also mitigating energy demand and GHG...

In climate-vulnerable coastal regions, left-behind family members often choose to stay despite having migration pathways through departed household members, challenging conventional theories of family reunification. This study examines the influence of psychosocial integration on non-migration aspirations among 411 left-behind households in coastal...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management in developing countries largely relies on open dumping and minimal sanitary landfilling, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The waste management sector is a global concern due to its impact on climate change, with inefficient collection systems and improper disposal exacerbating...

This research focuses on the global issue of heavy metal (HM) contamination in coastal systems and provides the first baseline investigation of the surface sediments in Tiruchendur Taluk, southern Thoothukudi, while evaluating potential sources and associated ecological risks. A total of 25 sediment samples were analyzed for particle size...
