Assessing heat-related health risks is important for sustainable urban development. Although fine-scale information (e.g., at the community/neighborhood or city block level) is ideal for identifying and mitigating these risks, previous studies have preferred to work at the administrative unit level. High-resolution Local Climate Zone (LCZ) maps, i...
While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are broadly framed with 17 goals, the goals and their targets inherently
connect with each other forming a complex system. Actions supporting one goal may influence progress in other goals,
either positively (synergies) or negatively (trade-offs). Effective managing the synergies and trade-offs is a...
This report demonstrates that changes in consumption patterns and dominant lifestyles are a critical and integral part of the solutions package to addressing climate change. The report fills a gap in the existing research by establishing global targets for lifestyle carbon footprints, examining current consumption patterns and their impacts on...
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。
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, set 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 targets. 232 indicators were proposed as the global framework for monitoring the progress made in achieving SDGs. SDG targets and their corresponding indicators interact with each other forming an...
上海市は都市化規模と現代化水準の高まるにつれ、突発的な事件を誘発する要素も増えている。上海で発生する自然災害や人為災害の種類が多く、発生頻度も高いが、現在の上海市の総合減災システムは決して完全な状態にあるとは言えず、都市の災害防御能力もまだ比較的弱い。如何に都市安全や市民生命と財産を保障するかはすでに政府の優先課題となっている。本文はこのような状況を踏まえ、上海市民に対するアンケート調査結果に基づき、上海市民の防災減災意識を明らかにした上で、上海市の取組みの弱点について分析する。更に、防災減災教育や意識向上の重要性やその方策についても述べる。
IGES Centre Collaborating with UNEP on Environmental Technologies (CCET) has developed version III of the IGES-GHG calculator entitled "Estimation Tool for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management in a Life Cycle Perspective", a tool that enables to estimate GHG emissions from the waste sector in China in the Life...
