Urbanization in Jaipur, India, has led to a 42% decline in green cover over the past two decades, exacerbating urban heat, air pollution, groundwater depletion, and reduced livability. Green Infrastructure (GI) offers a sustainable solution, but effective implementation requires robust, data-driven strategies. This study employs geospatial...

2024年度、国立研究開発法人宇宙航空研究開発機構（JAXA）が有する衛星技術・データ・知見の国際環境政策への活用を促進するため、以下の業務を行った。本作業報告書では、これら活動の作業概要について報告する。 パリ協定における国家の温室効果ガス排出報告のための ALOS データの事例調査を活用したトレーニングの実施支援 昆明・モントリオール生物多様性枠組(GBF)モニタリング・フレームワーク調査

Wetlands play a vital role in ecosystem sustainability by regulating atmospheric temperature and enhancing human comfort levels. This study aims to evaluate the temperature regulation function of the Nawabganj Wetland, Uttar Pradesh (India), a Ramsar site designated in January 2020, located in a semi-arid region vulnerable to increasing heat waves...

Forest fire is a major calamity that jeopardizes property and human safety while posing a significant threat to forest resources and the natural ecosystem. Anticipating the likelihood of forest fires and mapping the forest fire vulnerable areas can offer valuable guidance for effective forest fire control and preventive measures. In recent years...

Rapid global changes (industrialization, climate change, population growth, land use land cover changes etc.) putting an enormous pressure on different natural resources particularly fresh water resource which is already finite. Diligent monitoring for deciphering hydrological and hydrogeochemical process is key to manage this. This monitoring...

This book entitled presents a comprehensive view on various mining activities and a wide spectrum of environmental challenges associated with it. Case studies presented across global south such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, are the first of its kind which presents a holistic and deep insight about this pressing environmental issue. In this...

Lakes are critical resources that support the ecological balance and provide essential services for human and environmental well-being. However, their quality is being increasingly threatened by both natural and anthropogenic processes. This study aimed to assess the water quality and the presence of heavy metals in 15 lakes in the Vidarbha and...

Net primary productivity (NPP) reflects the carbon sequestration capacity of terrestrial ecosystems, serving as a crucial indicator of ecosystem health. Arid and semiarid regions, which are ecologically fragile, respond strongly to climate change and human activities, necessitating adequate NPP monitoring. However, large-scale NPP studies for...

In the final quarter of 2024 four major environment meetings were convened. These included the “triple COP” – separate meetings of the 16 th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP-16), the 29 th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP-29), and the 16 th...

Although water is a vital finite resource for sustaining life, it is under constant pressure from anthropogenic activities. Among the different types of surface water, lakes are particularly difficult to restore once water quality deteriorates due to their hydrological cycles and complex dynamics. This study compares policy implementation and its...
