本稿は、北東アジアの中国、日本における再生可能エネルギー(以下、「再エネ」)に関する政策環境の相違を議論し、今後の展望を概観する。要点は、以下の通りである。 • 最大限に再エネの普及による電力システムの転換は脱炭素社会の構築にとって基本的柱の一つである。過去10年間、日中両国は莫大な投資を行い、再エネの領域で世界的リーダーになってきた。 • 風力と太陽光発電が、中国の電力システムの脱炭素化に不可欠な役割を担っている。日本での再エネの導入は、温室効果ガス(GHG: Greenhouse gas)削減、エネルギー自給率の向上、化石燃料調達費用の削減、産業の国際競争力の強化、雇用の創出、地域の活性化、非常時のエネルギー確保等、多方面のメリットが認識され、進められている。 •...
17th World Lake Conference
The Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) is among the most productive freshwater ecosystems, and one of the most fish-abundant lakes in the world. It is connected with the Mekong River by the Tonle Sap River. The TSL absorbs a huge volume of water, which helps to reduce flooding in the Mekong River floodplains during the peak flooding season, then releases water...

Coastal Management: Global Challenges and Innovations所収
Salinity is one of the major drivers of environmental change and a persistent stressor in coastal areas, often resulting from prolonged storm and tidal surge flooding. Especially in case of the Asian Mega Deltas, where vast number of communities depends on coastal agriculture as sole livelihood, salinity is compounding as an immediate as well as...
Global support for promoting adaptation, both in terms of technical and financial assistance is growing, though only a few countries have reached the stage of submitting their NAPs. Developing effective NAPs is a complicated process requiring a great deal of financial and technical resources, much akin to the implementation of environmental...

Role of information platform for integrated lake basin management (ILBM) in Asia: Lessons and pathways for SDGs
ILBM is an approach for achieving sustainable management of lakes and reservoirs through gradual, continuous and holistic improvement of basin governance, including sustained efforts for integration of institutional responsibilities, policy directions, stakeholder participation, scientific and traditional knowledge, technological possibilities, and...
Remote Sensing所収
Generally, the characterization of land surface roughness is obtained from the analysis of height variations observed along transects (e.g., root mean square (RMS) height, correlation length, and autocorrelation function). These surface roughness measurements are then used as inputs for surface dynamics modeling, e.g., for soil erosion modeling...
アジアの新興国都市では、急速な人口増加と都市化に伴い、様々な環境問題が顕在化している。これら途上国都市の環境改善を行う方策の一つとして、本邦自治体が長年積み重ねてきた持続的な都市経営に関するノウハウや技術を移転する「都市間連携」の推進が期待されている。このような取組には外部資金の活用が必要であるが、ファンドを提供している政府の支援意図とは裏腹に、都市間連携に参画する自治体の数は思うように増えていないのが現状である。本稿は、都市間連携を行う本邦自治体を増やし、ファンドの効果的な利用を促すことを通じて都市間連携を推進することを目的として、都市間連携に利用可能なファンド及びその利用実態を把握し、ファンドの効果的な獲得や有効利用について提言を取りまとめたものである。
