Stubble burning in the Trans Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) significantly contributes to air pollution, posing severe threats to human health and the environment. This study investigates the interactions between stubble burning, vegetation productivity, atmospheric loading, and wind anomalies across the Trans Indo- Gangetic Plain using MODIS burned-area...

Urban heat in rapidly growing megacities is spatially uneven, yet the relative influence of built form, socioeconomic activity and blue-green spatial configuration remains insufficiently resolved in cities of the Global South. This study examines neighbourhood-scale controls on land surface temperature (LST) in Delhi, India, using a single clear...

Bhutan faces mounting pressure on its municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems. Its capital city, Thimphu, generates approximately 50 tonnes of MSW per day, of which roughly 30 tonnes per day is organic (wet) waste that is currently deposited at the Memelakha landfill — an ageing open-dumpsite already well beyond its intended lifespan. At the...

Flood-dominated floodplains are undergoing rapid land-use and land-cover (LULC) change, with consequences for exposure, ecosystem condition, and local development planning. This study examines historical LULC change, transition intensity, trend-consistent land-use scenarios, and event-based flood exposure in Bongaigaon District, located in the...

Methane is a potent, short-lived climate pollutant responsible for nearly 0.5°C of global temperature rise. Though it remains in the atmosphere for about 12 years, its climate impact is 86 times stronger than carbon dioxide over 20 years, making methane mitigation one of the most effective strategies for tackling climate change. The waste sector...

Agriculture in semi-arid regions is increasingly vulnerable to climate variability and land degradation, threatening rural livelihoods and food security. At the same time, the global transition toward clean energy, particularly solar power, offers synergistic opportunities to mitigate climate change while supporting sustainable rural development...

Mining activities significantly alter environmental conditions by increasing atmospheric aerosol loads and degrading water quality. This study employs Google Earth Engine (GEE) to analyze spatiotemporal anomalies in Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), PM₂.₅ concentrations, chlorophyll-a levels, and turbidity in Tonk, Rajasthan, between 2016 and 2022. Data...

This research aims to contribute to the new scientific knowledge related to the adaptation and climate resilient development strategies. In particular, cultural heritage is a new element for the Global Goals on Adaptation (GGA) in the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, which was adopted in Dubai 2023. Creating new scientific knowledge on...

Presentation at the year-end project meeting : Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region, coordinated by International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (IRCI)

環境省業務「令和７年度途上国における適応M&Eツールの適応プロセス実装支援及び国際整合化検討業務」では、ユーザー対話型の適応のモニタリングと評価（M&E）ツール「Japan Adaptation Monitoring and Evaluation System」 （以下、「JAMES」）を開発途上国の諸都市における適応計画や防災計画等の気候変動適応推進プロセスに引き続き実装し、途上国の地域での適応プロセス推進を支援するとともに、国際援助機関や開発コンサルタント等が実施する支援事業とJAMESの連携可能性について検討を行った。併せて、2023年に国連気候変動枠組条約（UNFCCC）第28回締約国会議（COP28）で合意されたUAEフレームワークとの整合性を図りつつ、各国...
