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...

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...

At Osaka Expo 2025, as part of Sustainability Week (October 5–13, 2025) at the Italy Pavilion, the Lombardy Region – DG for Environment and Climate – in collaboration with the Lombardy Green Chemistry Association, presents a workshop and an exhibition on circular economy, bioeconomy, AI for sustainability, agri-food innovation, and urban...

Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into climate actions is essential for a healthy planet and people. Yet, national climate policies and international climate support programs often fail to explicitly recognize the interconnections between climate concerns and other priorities covered under the SDGs. This failure can leave key...

Home to roughly 1.8 billion people, South Asia generates approximately 334 million tonnes of waste per year of which 174 million tonnes (57%) is organic in content. In addition to the increase in municipal solid waste, managing complex and emerging waste streams, including e-waste, food waste, construction and demolition waste, disaster waste...

To classify Very-High-Resolution (VHR) imagery, Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) is the most popular method used to produce high quality Land-Use/Land-Cover maps. A crucial step in GEOBIA is the appropriate parametrization of the segmentation algorithm prior to the classification. However, little effort has been made to automatically...

In collaboration with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, Japan (IGES), NIES has worked with Bhutan for years to address the adverse impacts of climate change. On February 5-8, 2018, IGES delivered a training program for policymakers, and the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Information Platform (AP-PLAT) coordinated lectures...
