海洋プラスチック汚染の中でも漁業活動(漁業および養殖業を含む)に由来するものは放棄・遺棄・投棄された漁具(Abandoned, Lost, or Discarded Fishing Gear: ALDFG、またはゴーストギア)と呼ばれる。海洋に流出して日本の近海および沿岸域を汚染しているALDFGは、日本国内から発生したものに加え、多くは近隣諸国を含む他国から漂着したものである。このことから、ALDFG対策は日本のみでなくアジア諸国全体で取り組むことが重要であると考えられる。 そこで、本稿では、東アジア地域の中でも特に韓国と台湾を対象として実施した現地調査の結果をとりまとめ、日本との比較を通じて今後の日本の対策強化に向けた提言を抽出した。その結果、韓国および台湾においては...

This study provides an indicative comparative assessment of the factors underlying these challenges by examining policy content, regulatory enforcement, and institutional capacity related to OWB across ten selected Asian countries: Cambodia, China, India, Iraq, Jordan, Laos, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Thailand. The researchers employed a...
日本の近海および沿岸域を汚染している放棄・遺棄・投棄された漁具(ゴーストギア)は、日本国内から発生したものに加え、多くは近隣諸国を含む他国から漂着したものである。このことから、ゴーストギア対策は日本のみでなくアジア諸国全体で取り組むことが必要である。国際的にはゴーストギア対策を進める動きがあり、特に欧州や北米地域では様々な対策が進んでいるが、東アジア地域においても各国が対策に取り組んでいるものの、その現状はまだ我が国ではほとんど知られていなかった。そこで、本業務では、韓国と台湾を対象とし、ゴーストギアに関する両国の現状(流出の背景と現状、法制度、政府・民間による取組、その成果等)を明らかにすることを目的として、ステークホルダーに対するインタビュー調査を行った。

The global environmental governance landscape is undergoing a paradigmatic shift from state-centric pollution control to market-based Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This report provides an exhaustive analysis of the EPR landscape within the Indo-Pacific region, contrasting the mature, strict-liability frameworks of East Asia (Japan, South...

Decarbonizing road transport through technology interventions is crucial for reducing global greenhouse gases emissions. However, progress varies significantly across regions due to differences in technology readiness, commercialization, and policy environments. In recent years, the electrification of light-duty and freight vehicles has emerged as...

The open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a prevalent yet underreported source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions, particularly in developing and transition economies. This study updates the 2006 IPCC activity inventory methods and subsequent refinements to quantify emissions from open waste burning (OWB) in Asian...
Clean Air Week 2025
Air pollution is Southeast Asia’s leading environmental health risk and a key driver of climate change through short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon and methane. The Southeast Asia Climate & Clean Air Initiative (SEACAI), co-financed by Germany and Switzerland, demonstrates how coordinated donor action can deliver tangible...

As more cities adopt resilient net-zero policies, local-level assessments of the current and future health impacts of warmer temperatures are becoming increasingly important. These assessments may be even more useful if they demonstrate how health impacts of different predicted temperatures vary across acclimatized/non-acclimatized groups. This...
15th International Conference on Sustainable Waste Management - Circular Economy (IconSWM-CE) and IPLA Global Forum 2025
In South Asia, a region facing rapid economic growth, immense population pressure, and high climate vulnerability, the circular economy (CE) has become a critical imperative for sustainable development. This study provides a comparative overview of the CE landscape across eight South Asian countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives...
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has launched its first Methane Reduction Roadmap, reinforcing its leadership as a Global Methane Pledge Champion. Methane is a potent short-lived climate pollutant, more than 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions offers rapid climate benefits, improved...
