This paper conducts a comparative analysis of green industrial policy strategies recently advanced by the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), and extends insights to the evolving policy landscape in Japan. Its analysis underscores how the European strategy is characterized by a systematic approach that balances emissions constraints...

Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into climate actions is essential for a healthy planet and people. Yet, national climate policies and international climate support programs often fail to explicitly recognize the interconnections between climate concerns and other priorities covered under the SDGs. This failure can leave key...

The response of land surface phenology (LSP) to the urban heat island effect (UHI) is a useful biological indicator for understanding how vegetated ecosystems will be affected by future climate warming. However, vegetation cover in rural areas is often dominated by cultivated land, whose phenological timing is considerably influenced by...

Illumination variations in non-atmospherically corrected high-resolution satellite (HRS) images acquired at different dates/times/locations pose a major challenge for large-area environmental mapping and monitoring. This problem is exacerbated in cases where a classification model is trained only on one image (and often limited training data) but...

Lichen is an important food source for caribou in Canada. Lichen mapping using remote sensing (RS) images could be a challenging task, however, as lichens generally appear in unevenly distributed, small patches, and could resemble surficial features. Moreover, collecting lichen labeled data (reference data) is expensive, which restricts the...

IGES Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Database provides detailed information on the JCM methodologies, projects, and JCM feasibility studies to be utilized for research and development of JCM project. The JCM is being implemented under bilateral cooperation between Japan and 29 partner countries: Mongolia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, Viet...

2014年11月12日、米中首脳会談後の共同声明において、米国と中国が、以下のような温室効果ガス（GHG）の排出削減目標を発表した。 o 米国：2025年までにGHG排出量を2005年比で26～28％削減 o 中国：2030年頃までに、なるべく早い時期にCO2排出量を頭打ち（ピークアウト）； 一次エネルギー消費における非化石燃料の割合を2030年までに約20% 　本稿では、米中の2020年以降の温暖化対策目標について、既存文献で示される両国の排出経路シナリオと比較することにより、目標の野心度についての評価を行った。評価するに当たり、気温上昇2℃未満抑制に向けた排出経路との整合性、及び目標達成のための追加的な努力の必要性、という二つの評価軸を用いた。前者は環境十全性の視点から評価であり...

The transport sector is one of the main sources of global GHG emissions, of which road transport emissions are greatest. The decarbonisation of road transport requires systemic changes combined with technological interventions to optimise the use of transport modes. Given the diverse options for road transport decarbonisation due to differences in...

運輸部門は、世界における温室効果ガス（GHG）の主な排出源の1つであり、特に道路輸送の比率が高い。道路輸送の脱炭素化には、技術革新と社会変革を組み合わせ、輸送手段を最適化することが求められる。道路輸送の脱炭素化に際しては、技術の進捗状況や商業化のレベルが国や地域によって大きく異なるため、地域ごとのまちづくりや社会的課題の解決につながるような方策が求められる。運輸部門の脱炭素化は、広範な社会構造の変化につながり、気候危機といった深刻な問題に対する解決に貢献するとともに、豊かな交通社会を導く好機となりうる。
