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。

This submission highlights the key findings of the discussion at the Japan-India Climate Policy Research Workshop, held in July 2018 in India.

More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities. And half of this, lives in Asia. And from all of these people living in the world’s cities, more than 80% are exposed to poor air quality and experiencing air pollution, especially in Asia. This air pollution is mainly related to the global phenomenon of GHG emission, which mostly...

This policy brief surveys the trends and issues related to international material recycling routes for plastic scrap exported from Japan that have been rapidly changing since 2017, considers potential future developments, and proposes policy recommendations for securing a stable and environmentally sound material recycling process for plastic scrap...

This presentation explains trends of national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories in submitted biennial update reports (BURs) by developing countries under the UNFCCC. It illustrates country's progress in reporting GHG inventories in terms of methodologies used, gases and GWP used, and years reported with emissions data, etc. In some cases, countries...

Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is considered one of the serious environmental issues in the Philippines, with corresponding linkages to the climate change and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, methane (CH4) linked with indiscriminate dumping of municipal solid waste has received the much attention with regard to public health...
