This presentation outlines an initiative applying behavioral insights (BI) to reduce single-use plastics (SUPs) across the Asia-Pacific region. Phase I (2022-2024) implemented pilot projects in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Departing from traditional "rational choice" theories, the project utilized the "Levers of Behaviour...

How has sustainable transport been discussed in the international community? First, let’s take an overview of the history of the SDGs. In June 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the “Earth Summit,” was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Earth Summit was a conference aimed at obtaining concrete...

The presentation provides an overview of the progress of corporate biodiversity actions based on the survey conducted by the Keidanren Nature Conservation Council.

生物多様性・生態系サービスのシナリオ・モデリングには、グローバルや国レベルの広域のものをダウンスケーリングして用いる事が多く、地域の文脈におけるシナリオの妥当性やモデリングの解像度に課題があった。本研究では、これまでの地域の課題や将来ビジョン、地域の関係者とのワークショップで得られた意見にNFFを適用し分類を行った。結果、地域の将来ビジョンとして、社会のための自然利用より、文化としての自然への関心が高いことが明らかになった。さらにこれら地域情報に基づく4つのシナリオナラティブと、これらのナラティブを定量的に表現するための指標のロングリストを作成した。今後、今回得られた定性的なシナリオ（ナラティブ）に基づく数理モデリングを進めるための指標の選択と指標データを用いた計算（ステップ２...

We attempt a bottom-up approach to developing NFF-based localized future scenarios up to 2050 that capture these local concerns and efforts. Our exercise started with interpreting the Ramsar Site Management Plan (2022) from the NFF lens, followed by a stakeholder workshop in 2024 to flesh out multiple future scenarios. A spatially-explicit...

This discussion paper introduces the conceptual foundations and analytical framework of the Asia-Pacific Climate Security (APCS) briefing note series. It situates climate security within an evolving geopolitical context marked by intensifying climate impacts and growing challenges to multilateral cooperation. The paper examines how climate change...

This discussion paper examines whether the securitisation of climate change can accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions in the Asia-Pacific region. It argues that framing climate change and energy transition as national security concerns can elevate policy urgency and mobilise resources to address systemic risks, including energy insecurity...

This discussion paper explores the concept of climate-induced mobility in the Asia-Pacific region and its implications for security, governance, and policy development. It highlights the growing recognition of climate mobility in international and regional policy frameworks, while emphasizing the absence of a comprehensive global legal regime to...

This discussion paper analyzes the impacts of global warming on maritime security in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on both geopolitical transformations and legal implications arising from climate-induced oceanic changes. It highlights how rising sea levels, intensifying marine disasters, and shifting ecosystems are reshaping security dynamics...
