The Asian Co-benefits Partnership (ACP) was created to support the mainstreaming of co-benefits into projects and policies in Asia and the Pacific in 2010. The increase in the number of policies featuring cobenefits in Asia and the Pacific suggests the ACP has had some success achieving this objective. Recent changes in the international climate...

Japan is a member of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), known for its contributions to the computational modelling of acid rain and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In line with the Ministry of the Environment's contribution to IIASA from 2011, IGES has assumed the secretariat of the national...

Robust empirical assessments of the long-term cumulative global effects of free trade and economic globalization on the environment are limited. This account fills this gap by constructing a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to estimate the environmental effects of a milestone in the recent history of trade liberalization: China’s 20...

Can Tho City is located in the middle of the Mekong Delta, where the effects of climate change have been and will continue to be considerable. According to climate change predictions, the city is one of five regions that could be affected.
