地球・人間環境フォーラムの月刊環境情報誌、「グローバルネット」に地球環境戦略研究機関(IGES)北京事務所所長の小柳秀明が、中国の最新環境事情を偶数月で連載しています。

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems are essential for effective National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), a need intensified by the adoption of the Belém Adaptation Indicators at COP30. Japan addresses this through a statutory framework under the Climate Change Adaptation Act, managing progress via a systematic five-year PDCA cycle. This...

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and sediment flux (SF) are critical indicators of sediment delivery in the Lower Mekong and underpin deltaic geomorphic stability and ecosystem services. With recent evidence of declining sediment supply caused by upstream regulation and intensive in-channel extraction, there is a pressing need for...

タラオセアンジャパンと上智大学アイランド・サステナビリティ研究所が共催したセミナーに、IGES堀田が登壇し、途上国の抱えるプラスチック廃棄物問題について講演を行った。本セミナーには、環境省の海洋プラスチック汚染対策室　中山室長および長谷室長補佐、タラオセアン財団　ロマン・トゥルブレ　エグゼクティブディレクター、タラオセアンジャパン　シルバン・アゴスティーニ　理事、上智大学　織朱美教授、あん・まくどなるど教授が登壇し、海洋プラスチック条約交渉の今後の方向性などについて意見交換を行った。

Fluvial sediment fluxes are reshaping coastal water colour, geomorphology, and ecological processes, yet schemes based on single-river loads or shoreline change may miss land-sea responses. We combine SSC records from 19 river stations across nine Chinese basins (2004-2024) with MODIS reflectance to characterize clearing, brightening, regional...

新世界無秩序（New World Disorder）時代の環境と経済：米中のエネルギー・テクノロジー覇権をめぐって

環境新聞にて連載中の「シャオリュウの中国環境ウオッチ」では、地球環境戦略研究機関（IGES）北京事務所長の小柳秀明が、中国の環境の現状と対策を毎月報告しています。

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...
