Changes in land use over space and time are key drivers of water pollution. However, current studies on landuse–water-quality relationships in small watersheds are insufficient to support regional development. Comparative research across large-scale watersheds can better inform water environmental protection, yet such studies remain limited. This...

This research aims to contribute to the new scientific knowledge related to the adaptation and climate resilient development strategies. In particular, cultural heritage is a new element for the Global Goals on Adaptation (GGA) in the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, which was adopted in Dubai 2023. Creating new scientific knowledge on...

Non-economic loss and damage (NELD) associated with climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical yet under-assessed dimension of climate risk, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Africa. This study presents an analytical framework for synthesizing evidence from a systematic literature review conducted under the ASCEND initiative...

ホルムズ海峡封鎖で露呈したエネルギー安全保障の脆弱性―再生可能エネルギーの拡大を急げ―

Plastic pollution is a growing challenge in Southeast Asia, where rapid urbanisation and rising consumption are driving sharp increases in plastic waste. While traditional regulations such as plastic bans and information campaigns are important, they often fail to shift deeply ingrained consumption and waste management habits on their own. This new...

Presentation at the year-end project meeting : Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region, coordinated by International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (IRCI)

This discussion paper explores the concept of climate-induced mobility in the Asia-Pacific region and its implications for security, governance, and policy development. It highlights the growing recognition of climate mobility in international and regional policy frameworks, while emphasizing the absence of a comprehensive global legal regime to...

This paper examines the complex relationship between climate change and food security in the Asia-Pacific region. It demonstrates how climate change disrupts food systems through impacts on crop yields, fisheries, and supply chains, while interacting with socio-economic inequalities, governance failures, and competing resource demands to produce...

This discussion paper examines whether the securitisation of climate change can accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions in the Asia-Pacific region. It argues that framing climate change and energy transition as national security concerns can elevate policy urgency and mobilise resources to address systemic risks, including energy insecurity...
