With the growing frequency and intensity of landslide hazards, the importance of forest management is increasingly being recognized to safeguard the sustainable delivery...

アジアの都市は，再エネのシェアの増加や多様な政 策措置の導入によるエネルギー効率の改善など，世界 的に合意されている気候変動の緩和策の目標に向けて すでにさまざまなレベルの取り組みを行ってきてい る。アジアの多くの都市も，ネットゼロへの取り組み を宣言してきている。いくつかの都市は，ネットゼロ に向けた計画と具体的な行動を公表した。しかし，ほ とんどの都市は利用できる資源や経験・能力が限られ ているために，2050 年までにネットゼロを達成する 長期計画を立てる課題に直面している。都市の境界内 で利用可能な再生資源が限られていることを考える と，都市単独でネットゼロを達成することは通常のア プローチでは極めて難しい。地域循環共生圏のアプロ ーチを採用すれば，農村地域との協力をネットゼロに...

Beyond the widespread implications on public health, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has further raised additional...

Water pollution caused by microplastics generated from land-based sources (e.g. as tire-wear particles, broken road markings, synthetic textile microfibre from washing, microbeads from personal care products, discharged domestic wastewater from households, and others) is attracting attention in many countries and regions around the world as an...

Globally, shifting cultivation is known to be an important driver of tropical deforestation. However, we argue that it can be sustainably managed if the environmental boundary conditions, laid by the traditional customs and practices, are fully respected. We narrate an empirical study from the Zunheboto district of Nagaland, India, where we...
