かけがえのない森林:森林は、10億人以上の人々の生活と陸生動植物種の80%の棲みかを提供している。森林は、地球の気候の安定化に不可欠であり、パリ協定で定められた1.5℃の温暖化の抑制に貢献する。森林は、気候、生物多様性、自然が相互に関連し合って生じている危機に対処するための中心的存在であるにもかかわらず、驚くほどの速さで破壊され続け、プラネタリーヘルス(地球の健康)と次世代のウェルビーイングを脅かしている。 「森林に関するニューヨーク宣言」(2014年)、「森林と土地利用に関するグラスゴー首脳宣言」(2021年)、「第1回国連気候変動枠組条約(UNFCCC)グローバル・ストックテイク」(2023年)といった世界的な公約は、ほぼすべての国、そして何百もの企業、市民社会組織、先住民(IP...
Disaster Risk Reduction and Rural Resilience: With a Focus on Agriculture, Water, Gender and Technology所収
The South Asian nations have vibrant agrarian economies with a significant proportion of their populations dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. These countries have made significant progress in developing the agriculture policy environment though slowly through concerted actions over the years as a result of which they have increasingly...
Habitat International所収
This study examines the factors influencing environmental migrants’ habitat preferences in southwestern Bangladesh. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, we selected 408 households in rural and urban areas, who had moved to their current locations due to climatic extremes. We applied relevant regression models to analyze the complex interplay of...
Climate change adaptation in agriculture for enhanced recovery and sustainability of highlands
CSA projects needs to be bankable. i.e. the project addresses/considers all known financial and economic risks and yields solid financial and economic performance while providing climate benefits. 1. Design synergistic CSA practices meeting dual objectives: climate change risk and vulnerability reduction and GHG mitigation 2. Wherever appropriate...
Climate所収
The Sikkim region of the Eastern Himalayas is highly susceptible to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), a risk that has increased significantly due to rapid glacial retreat driven by climate change in recent years. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of GLOF susceptibility in Sikkim, employing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy...

Urbanisation in Jaipur, Rajasthan’s capital, has significantly impacted land use and land cover (LULC) over the past four decades. This study addresses the pressing issue of how rapid urban expansion affects green spaces and environmental balance. Utilizing satellite imagery and a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, LULC maps for 1993, 2003...
Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health所収
This study investigates the relationship between hydrological factors and waterlogged regions, emphasizing the critical role of robust urban drainage systems in reducing urban flood risks and improving urban health. Using satellite data and GIS technologies, the study revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) between the...
Landscape and Ecological Engineering所収
In an era where global biodiversity hotspots are under unprecedented threat, understanding the intricate balance between land use land cover (LULC) changes and their implications on ecosystem services value (ESV) becomes paramount. The region of Jammu and Kashmir, with its distinctive ecological importance, is well known for these challenges and...
