Many cities have integrated health co-benefits into their climate plans to address cost concerns and build multi-stakeholder support for resilient, net-zero transitions. While some studies have demonstrated that cities vary in how much they link health and climate, few have examined why this is the case. This study fills this gap by using 16...

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...

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...

The rapid growth in microplastic pollution research is influencing funding priorities, environmental policy, and public perceptions of risks to water quality and environmental and human health. Ensuring that environmental microplastics research data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) is essential to inform policy and...

'Sao Paulo in 2030: Envisioning 1.5-Degree Lifestyles' shares findings of the ‘Envisioning Future Low-Carbon Lifestyles and Transitioning Instruments’ demonstration project, 2019-2021. This project was implemented under the United Nations’ One Planet network and funded by the Government of Japan through its contribution to the 10YFP Trust Fund...

The recognition of the urgent need for more sustainable lifestyles dates from the late 20th century, originating in concerns about resource depletion and climate change. Research and policy measures have evolved since then, paying increasing attention to systemic change over individual behaviour. However, as individual behavioural change is...

Our lifestyles, through the impacts of our day-to-day activities such as eating, moving and commuting, heating and cooling our homes, caring, working, and so on, have become major threats to the sustainability of the environment. While continued economic growth and urbanisation in many countries are expected, it is imperative to consider how we...
