Achieving sustainable food systems that align with planetary and human health goals requires assessments of dietary patterns, supply structures, and environmental impacts. This study presents the first comprehensive evaluation of Japan’s food system, using the EAT-Lancet Healthy Reference Diet (EHRD) as a benchmark. First, this study developed an...

The term “transformative change” has evolved into a one-stop-shop concept in sustainability circles. In peer-reviewed journals in the fields of environmental science, agricultural and biological sciences, and earth and planetary sciences, it appeared only 75 times prior to 2010, but 1,012 times from 2010 to 2019, and 3,534 times in just the first...

地球・人間環境フォーラムの月刊環境情報誌、「グローバルネット」に地球環境戦略研究機関(IGES)北京事務所所長の小柳秀明が、中国の最新環境事情を偶数月で連載しています。

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems are essential for effective National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), a need intensified by the adoption of the Belém Adaptation Indicators at COP30. Japan addresses this through a statutory framework under the Climate Change Adaptation Act, managing progress via a systematic five-year PDCA cycle. This...

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and sediment flux (SF) are critical indicators of sediment delivery in the Lower Mekong and underpin deltaic geomorphic stability and ecosystem services. With recent evidence of declining sediment supply caused by upstream regulation and intensive in-channel extraction, there is a pressing need for...

タラオセアンジャパンと上智大学アイランド・サステナビリティ研究所が共催したセミナーに、IGES堀田が登壇し、途上国の抱えるプラスチック廃棄物問題について講演を行った。本セミナーには、環境省の海洋プラスチック汚染対策室　中山室長および長谷室長補佐、タラオセアン財団　ロマン・トゥルブレ　エグゼクティブディレクター、タラオセアンジャパン　シルバン・アゴスティーニ　理事、上智大学　織朱美教授、あん・まくどなるど教授が登壇し、海洋プラスチック条約交渉の今後の方向性などについて意見交換を行った。

Fluvial sediment fluxes are reshaping coastal water colour, geomorphology, and ecological processes, yet schemes based on single-river loads or shoreline change may miss land-sea responses. We combine SSC records from 19 river stations across nine Chinese basins (2004-2024) with MODIS reflectance to characterize clearing, brightening, regional...
