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...

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...

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...

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...

Through a study of Ra Province (northeast Viti Levu Island, Fiji) involving both archival research and community engagement, we highlighted a long history of Indigenous population mobility. Many coastal settlements have mostly undocumented histories of relocating inland due to shoreline retreat and land loss over recent decades. Studies of...

Sunda clouded leopard conservation requires understanding key species traits. Using photo-identification, we estimated lifespans from minimum residence times, documenting the oldest wild individual known to date—a 6.51-year-old female. We discuss methodological limitations in female detectability and transient individuals in the population and...

Agriculture lies at the centre of the climate change challenge, simultaneously functioning as a highly climate-vulnerable sector and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions through land use, crop production, livestock, and food systems. This presentation examines the climate change–agriculture nexus through a comparative analysis of...

From "Islands of Excellence" to a "Sea of Change": How ASEAN's Secondary Cities are Localising the SDGs in the region As the ASEAN region rapidly urbanises, the focus often falls on its mega-cities. However, a quiet transformation is underway in the region’s secondary cities -- the agile urban centres that are proving to be fertile ground for...
