鷲津明由、赤尾健一、有村俊秀 編著 『カーボンニュートラルと社会』晃洋書房（2025年3月）第6章「グローバル気候変動ガバナンスの発展と挑戦」

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...

The role of water is pivotal in achieving sustainable development, a prosperous economy, a healthy society, and also flourishing ecosystem. However, envisioning water security requires all countries by 2030 to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water, to improve water quality by reducing pollution, and to deliver...

Coastal cities in Vietnam are increasingly impacted by rapid environmental changes and the growing frequency and magnitude of hydrometeorological hazards, such as extreme precipitation and droughts. One of the most significant challenges posed by climate change is the imbalance of water resources availability between the wet and dry seasons. Both...

This chapter focuses on the key arguments on urban water ecosystems and their management from the previous 14 chapters of this edited volume. Throughout the volume, we understand the complexity of urban water ecosystems and their effective management. Learning about these complexities can be taken as an advantage for navigating socioecological...

Historically, urban areas were built with the presence of freshwater ecosystems. It is well recognized that freshwater is a significant factor in urban growth and development, which supports the reciprocity of urban growth and water environments since historical times. Yet, what is not often realized is that freshwater is a subset of complex socio...

Japan is considered a water-rich country. Yet, recent socioecological history suggests that the country has undergone some drastic changes in its water environment as an extended effect of its post-war industrialization and urbanization. On the other hand, Japan also houses ingenious and time-tested methods of water management in its traditional...

The idea of integrated water resource management (IWRM) for comprehensive and sustainable management of river and lake basins has been present in academia and policy-making for over half a century. Despite its presence in academia and policy-making for some time, IWRM has seen some major bottlenecks, such as a lack of comprehensive and holistic...

The present research focuses on estimating the impact/achievements of the long-term efforts of community afforestation programs on socio-ecological well-being in Africa with a case study from Kenya. An integrated approach (both qualitative and quantitative analysis, conducted through field and questionnaire surveys) was used in the Karura Forest...
