Indicator-based approaches have been used extensively for measuring adaptation. Adopting participatory approaches helps in contextualizing the global level and generic indicators to suit the local-level conditions for measuring adaptation effectiveness. This paper discusses the application of a methodology for identifying a set of adaptation...

Training of trainers workshop on ‘dissemination of Japanese low carbon technologies in India’ was organised on September 27, 2017, at Hotel Crowne Plaza, Pune by TERI in collaboration with Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA). The event was supported by ‘Institute for Global Environmental Strategies’ (IGES), Japan. This proceeding contains...

Households may imperfectly implement energy saving measures. This study identifies two factors resulting in imperfect use of energy-saving technology by households. Households often continue to use old technologies alongside new ones, and the energy-saving technologies have shorter actual lifetimes than their designed lifetimes. These two factors...

グリーンインフラに通じる考え方で、生態系を活用した防災・減災を表すEco­DRR （Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reductionの略称）が国際的に注目を集めている。これは、生態系の管理、保全や再生により災害リスクを低減するとともに、人々が日ごろから享受している様々な自然の恵みを守っていこうとするものだ。日本から海外への政府開発援助（ODA）の実施を一元的に担うJICAでは、Eco-DRRを自然環境分野の4つの戦略課題の１つとして、これまでにも関連する取り組みを実施してきた。こうした背景から、海外におけるEco-DRRの社会実装推進にJICAが果たす役割が期待されている。8月30日にグリーンインフラ研究会が開催したセミナーでは、Eco...

The benefits of walking have recently inspired considerable research on the relationships between pedestrian choices and numerous built environment factors. These relationships are then elaborated using walkability indices for the meso- the micro-levels. Despite important advances in micro-level research, the walkability concept is based chiefly on...

This report is related to the feasibility study on the potential application of Japanese low carbon technologies, namely once-through boiler was conducted on October 30, 2017 at Carabao Tawandang CO.,LTD. at Samutprakarn in Thailand. It was a part of the activities conducted in Thailand in FY2017 under the “Technology Assessment” project, which is...

ASEAN is committed to the implementation of two parallel, but inter related processes: the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 (ASEAN Vision 2025) and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda). From the outset ASEAN Member States underlined the complementarity of these two agendas in their efforts to uplift the standards of...

Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is considered as a primary driver of climate change, is responsible for slightly more than half of the total current warming impact from human-caused emissions (EESI, 2013). Emitted CO2 remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, creating warming effect even the new CO2 level reduce to zero. Therefore, the strategies...
