ウェルカムプロジェクトは、G7都市を対象に気候変動対策と住民の健康増進を統合する国際共同研究である。最大の意義は、脱炭素化を大気質改善や熱中症予防といった「地域的な便益（コベネフィット）」に変換し、政策の根拠を強化する点にある。 活動は「知見共有」「エビデンス明示」「ツール開発」を軸とし、八戸市の営農型太陽光発電や新潟市のEV推進がもたらす多角的な利点を可視化し、環境対策が福祉や経済に資することを証明した。これは市民の理解と支持を広げる重要な役割を果たす。開発中のウェブツールは部局間の合意形成を支援し、気候変動対策を市民の幸福向上への好機と捉える新たな都市づくりの指針として期待される。

Decarbonizing transport systems is critical to a net-zero future. Explicitly factoring health co-benefits into urban climate/ transport plans could persuade decision-makers to adopt and implement the policies needed for such a future. Many studies have estimated the health benefits of transport policies with these ends in mind. However, how...

Further, the extent to which they can...

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...

本調査では、スウェーデン、デンマーク、ドイツ、フィンランド及びフランスの 5 カ国を対象に、各国の持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）の①実施体制、②進捗状況の評価方法、③その 他独自の取組を調べた。これらの国は持続可能な開発ソリューション・ネットワーク（SDSN）とベルテルスマン財団が発表している SDG 指数等、SDGs の進捗状況に関する世界ランキ ングで常に上位につけている。これらの国の実施体制や進捗状況の評価方法等を理解する ことは、日本を含む他の国々における SDGs の実施を強化するのに有益と考えられる。 調査は、机上調査と聞き取り調査を組み合わせる手法をとった。机上調査では、各国の自発 的国家レビュー（VNR）、SDGs 行動計画、その他の関連文書を精査した。さらに、5...
