Since the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2021, global society, including Asian countries, has entered the phase of how to implement a long-term transition roadmap to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Given vital needs for the development in many Asian countries, a...
It has been more than a decade since the “NAP process” was established as part of the Cancun Adaptation Framework in 2010. However, there are few surveys providing an overview of the status of adaptation planning focusing in the Asia-Pacific. This factsheet provides an overview of adaptation plan documents submitted to the UNFCCC by Asia-Pacific...
These proceedings pertain to the JSPS-ICSSR seminar entitled ‘Understanding and Addressing Systemic Risks Behind the Socio-economic Impacts of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in Japan and India: Developing a Roadmap for a Resilient and Sustainable Future’. Led by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the Indian Institute...
適応に関する世界全体の目標（Global Goal on Adaptation: GGA）とは、2015年に採択されたパリ協定において定められた気候変動適応に関するグローバルな目標であり、温暖化を２度未満に抑えるという目標（緩和目標）に並ぶ、パリ協定の支柱の一つである。2021年の国連気候変動枠組条約第26回締約国会議(COP26)において併催されたパリ協定締約国会合（CMA3）では、GGAに関するさらなる協議のため、「GGAに関するグラスゴー・シャルムエルシェイク作業プログラム」（通称 GlaSS）の設置が合意された。GlaSSはその名の通り、英国・グラスゴーで開催されたCOP26とエジプト・シャルムエルシェイクで開催されるCOP27を繋ぐ２か年の作業プログラムであり、年に4回...

The rapidly changing socio-economic landscape of the Southeast Asian countries is an important driver for systemic risks such as climate change and hydro-geological disasters. Global processes such as the SFDRR, the...
Coastal communities are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change on the ocean, including depleted marine ecosystems, sea-level rise, and coastal hazards such as storm surges. These climate changerelated impacts have been experienced by Guimaras, a small island province located in Western Visayas, Philippines. IGES and PEMSEA...
The oceans have been warming globally for the past 50 years, and since the early 1990s they have been warming about twice as fast as before that time. Ocean warming and associated environmental changes are projected to continue over the century, leading to more severe extreme weather events and an increased risk of coastal disasters such as storm...
The aim of this e-learning course is to learn how the climate projection tool “ClimoCast” can be used in the NAP process. The tool covers all countries around the world, and allows users to compare different climate scenarios and models, as well as downscale the results to the sub-national level, which is very useful for adaptation planning. The...
気候変動影響により気象災害の更なる激甚化が予測されている中、新型コロナウイルス感染症が流行し、感染症と自然災害が同時に発生する複合リスクへの備えの必要性について認識させた。本事業では、そういった複合連鎖災害リスクへの対応強化を図るべく、気候変動を考慮した感染症や気象災害に対する、地域コミュニティーの強靭性強化について、我が国の知見を活用した技術協力の国際展開と、世界における気候変動に対する強靭化に我が国が適切な貢献を果たすための適応分野の議論の動向把握及び政策提言を行うことを目的として業務を実施した。本報告書は、業務内容：(1)強靭性強化研修パッケージ開発と国際展開ワークショップ開催、(2)世界における適応分野の動向把握と提言、の成果をまとめたものである。
While further...
