MSW, Biomass waste, marine and coastal plastic waste, EPR GHG emissions, and macro-level material flows are being developed to identify current conditions and future directions. "State of the 3Rs in AP" was made to improve waste management, improve resource efficiency, promote green and circular economies, mitigate climate change, and contribute to...

Aim to improve the decision-making process＆further promote 3R policies in AP, we framed related data and information of 11 countries and 1 region in a table together with "interpretation" by local experts to provide an overview of the definitions and classifications of waste and MSW＆MSW generation, as well as the national legislative waste...

In the course of implementing the Paris climate agreement and the 2030 sustainable development goals, policymakers, practitioners, and academics have increasingly acknowledged the urgency of addressing the issue of food waste, both globally and more especially in Asian countries. Various research is being carried out in high-income countries such...

Despite the region’s vulnerability to climate change, there is a serious lack of capacity in Asia for developing quality project proposals for climate change adaptation that can attract financing, which largely hinders implementation of Paris Agreement and the 2030 Development Agenda. Capacity building programmes are needed so that local...

In recent decades, economic development in Southeast Asian countries has made tremendous impacts on rural societies. People have tried to take advantage of the new opportunities brought about by such economic development, as well as the assets and capacities presented, to develop and diversify their livelihood options. Against this backdrop, this...

While Southeast Asia’s forests play important roles in biodiversity conservation and global carbon (C) balance, the region is also a deforestation hotspot. Here, we consider the five shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) to portray a range of plausible futures for the region’s forests, employing a state-of-the-art land change modelling procedure and...

The slides were presented in the stakeholder workshop, Japan-Europe Dialogue 2019, held at YCU (Yokohama City University) in April 2019.

Achieving water security and availability for all is among the principle agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve the goal of water security, particularly in rapidly expanding cities, identification of safe and sustainable water resources is an absolute necessity. The paper conducts an exploratory investigation in the...

Deep learning (DL) algorithms have seen a massive rise in popularity for remote-sensing image analysis over the past few years. In this study, the major DL concepts pertinent to remote-sensing are introduced, and more than 200 publications in this field, most of which were published during the last two years, are reviewed and analyzed. Initially, a...

This fact sheet shows flood modeling results for the San Juan subwatershed of the Philippines. The flood-affected area is expected to increase by ~10% from 2015-2025 due to planned land-use changes.
