The feasibility of the commitment for climate mitigation encapsulated in the NDC of Japan may be hindered by the uncertain situation of nuclear power supply. We developed scenarios to assess Japan’s NDC under different nuclear power supply paths. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is applied to evaluate the impact on the energy mix, and...

The Perusahaan Inti Rakyat (PIR) scheme, a smallholder support scheme in collaboration with plantation companies, was developed in the late 1970s in Indonesia. The idea of the PIR scheme is to improve the socioeconomic condition of smallholders. One of the ways of doing so is by providing technical and economic support and capacity building to help...

Across the world, the rate of urbanization is increasing at a rapid pace. As the areas in which the majority of people live and work, cities are increasingly acknowledged as the arena in which solutions to major societal and environmental challenges must be implemented. This rapid change has put many cities under significant strain. Local...

AIM (Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) team has conducted know-how transfer of Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG)’s building climate action to cities in Malaysia. When we developed low carbon society plan in Iskandar Development Region and Putrajaya and once these plans have been endorsed by city officials, their next challenge is how to make it...

AIM (Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) team has conducted GHG mitigation scenario development since 1989. We have developed not only global/national but local low carbon society (LCS) scenarios. In this paper, we introduce our methodology to develop local LCS scenarios including 1) Procedure and Work/Events, 2) Modeling Scheme, 3) Database and 4)...

This study assesses the regional energy mix potentials of Japan for maximised renewable electricity generation and reduced CO2 emission intensity in the electricity sector, in view of the nationally determined contribution (NDC) mitigation target, and the 2 °C rise limit target. Beginning with the deregulation of the retail electricity market...

This chapter summarises the key factors for achieving decarbonisation in the electricity system in GMS.

Despite much attention on “ecosystem services” and their potential role in disaster risk reduction (DRR), it is still unclear how ecosystem services can effectively be used for developing risk reduction strategies across the level of operations. On one hand, scientists have proved the utility of ecosystem services for DRR beyond doubts, say for...

The integrated assessment model (IAM) provide key information to allow policymakers to understand the possible outcomes of alternative development and climate policy scenarios. However, the complexity and large size of information resulting from IAMs, prevents straightforward communication of key insights to policy makers, unless a “translation...
