A tool was developed to serve a two-fold purpose: gathering of scenario data from integrated assessment models (IAMs) into a consistent dataset, and straightforward visualization of key data from multiple models. The approach adopted in the development of the tool can be potentially applied to any IAM MIP that follows the IAMC data submission...

Particulate Matter like Black Carbon, PM2.5 and PM10 present in the atmosphere not only poses a threat to human health but also contributes to near-term regional and global atmospheric warming. There has been a large concern of this kind of pollutants in Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Hence, an attempt has been made to see the impact in one of the...

アンケート調査によって国内の素材生産事業者、木材関連事業者による合法性確認の状況を明らかにした。 国内の市場において、違法伐採・取引由来の外国産材・国産材が流通していることが多くの事業者によって認識されていた。 2006年林野庁ガイドラインにおける合法木材の普及状況は、国産材の6-7割、外国産材の1-5割程度 2016年クリーンウッド法では、違法木材を取り扱うことが必ずしも禁止されていないにも関わらず、3割近い事業者は合法木材のみを取り扱い、「登録木材関連事業者」の登録を目指す方針

Major issues were “Energy” (Goal 7) and “Cities” (Goal 11), but not “Poverty” (Goal 1), “Gender equality” (Goal 5), or “Reduced inequalities” (Goal 10)...

日本政府は「環境未来都市」構想において、環境・社会・経済について持続可能な地方自治体・地域を選定し、具体的な取組みを推進するなかで、SDGsと同様に統合的アプローチを重視する一方、トップランナーの更なる育成を目的としていたため、エネルギー（ゴール7）、都市（ゴール11）に関する取組みが多く、貧困（ゴール１）、ジェンダー（ゴール5）、不平等（ゴール10）のように直接的な関わりのないゴールが存在する。これらの政策課題については、SDGsの要素を取り込むことによって、異分野が連携できるプラットフォームが用意され、これまで関係が薄かった部局との連携が実現し、個々の課題が統合的に取り組まれることで、複数の課題が同時解決へ向かうといった相乗効果が期待できる。さらに、環境未来都市のなかには...

Currently, however, REDD+ resultsbased financing is insufficient for incentivizing full implementation of REDD+ by developing countries. In this article, we examine how a new bilateral...
