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...

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has launched its first Methane Reduction Roadmap, reinforcing its leadership as a Global Methane Pledge Champion. Methane is a potent short-lived climate pollutant, more than 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions offers rapid climate benefits, improved...

The year 2023 marked a concerning milestone in climate history with the global average temperature being 1.45 ± 0.12°C above the pre-industrial average. The Global Stocktake at COP28 showed that the projected temperature rise is expected to be between 2.1 - 2.8°C even if nationally determined contributions (NDCs) of all countries are fully achieved...

Given the effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, understanding the consumption patterns that facilitate and support changes is essential. In this context, household food consumption constitutes a large part of society’s environmental impacts due to the production and solid waste generation stages. Hence, we focus on applying the Life...

This study examines land use changes and evaluates the past and projected forest carbon sequestration and its valuation in Viti Levu Island, Fiji, through a combination of remote sensing with a geospatial-based modeling approach. Land use classification was performed using Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 imageries of the years 2000 and 2020; then, cellular...

（Japanese title: 熱帯林違法伐採の検知（JJ-FAST）） This submission provides our input for the first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement. Our input focuses on a satellite-based deforestation monitoring system for tropical forests, “JICA-JAXA Forest Early Warning System in the Tropics (JJ-FAST)”. Summary of the submission: A satellite-based deforestation...

This catalogue has been produced for the workshops and home experiments organised by the 1.5ºC Lifestyle Project. A decarbonised lifestyle to limit the carbon footprint (CFP), including CO₂ emissions plus CO₂ equivalent of the other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 2,500 kg per year in 2030 and 700 kg per year in 2050. The options are divided into...

平成29 年5 月に「合法伐採木材等の流通及び利用の促進に関する法律」（通称「クリーンウッド法」）が施行された。また、平成29 年11 月から、同法に基づく木材関連事業者の登録が開始された。 このような背景の中、木材関連事業者による木材等の合法性確認等の取組を一層推進するため、本事業が実施された。本事業の目的は、木材関連事業者が効率的に木材等の合法性確認等の取組を実施できるよう、生産国における木材の流通や関連法令に関する情報を収集することである。 調査対象国は、パプアニューギニア、ソロモン諸島、ロシア、ベトナム、中国の計５カ国であり、それぞれの国において木材流通状況、関連法令・許認可制度、その他参考情報等が収集された。
