Brazil and Japan are key partners that share common visions, including multilateral international cooperation, the Bioeconomy and Satoyama Initiative, the decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, etc. In the context of a rapidly changing international situation, it is crucial for both countries' sustainable development, including...

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...

This study assessed the hydropower potential of a mountain watershed within the Sunkoshi River basin in Sindupalchok, Nepal, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrological model. Topographical, soil and land use, meteorological, and discharge data were employed to characterize the study...

Water resources assessment and management in ungauged basins are highly challenging but important task. It requires accurate simulation and estimation of streamflow characteristics. This study focuses on the simulation of rainfall-runoff processes in an ungauged Fusre River basin, a tributary of Seti River basin, Nepal using a semi-distributed...

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...

（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 case study reports on the development of a healthcare waste management (HCWM) system at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Nepal where the intervention began in 2014 with support from HECAF 360, a local NGO, and Health Care Without Harm (HCWH), an international NGO, and WHO Nepal. It describes the approach and path followed by...

CONSERVATION, RESTORATION AND management of forest resources are critical for addressing climate change. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are a vehicle for targeted climate actions, including those related to forest management, by countries towards contributing global efforts agreed under the Paris Agreement. Operationalizing climate...

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...

The Ganges basin provides essential water for drinking, irrigation, industrial use and power generation. Global climate change will affect the water availability in the basin and inevitably intensify the competition for water among major users, particularly from thermal power generation. Knowledge on the spatial distribution of water supply-demand...
