This report presents an overview of policies and initiatives related to sustainable consumption and production advanced by the governments of the Latin American and Caribbean region. Although not pretending to present an exhaustive overview, the report was developed based on extensive literature review as well as on the results of a pilot survey...

SCP（持続可能な消費と生産）は、言葉としてはSDGsの中でも大目標の一つ、ゴール12に掲げられ、その中では消費と生産に伴う自然資源の取得、環境に有害な化学物質等の排出物を最小化する管理手法や政策、国際的な合意形成といったことを対象としています。しかしSCPをより広義にとらえれば、「消費と生産」は我々人類の日々の営みそのものであり、消費と生産を巡るシステムは現在の文明の現状そのものといっても過言ではありません。また、SCPについて考慮することは、題材となる製品やサービスを巡る環境影響、社会影響を含んだものになり、自然にSDGsの他のゴールと関連していくことを意味します。本討論会では、参加者がSCPにかかわるトピック「SCP（持続可能な消費と生産）とSDGsの関連性は？」...

環境研究総合推進費・戦略的研究(S-16)として実施されている「アジア地域における持続可能な消費・生産 パターン定着のための政策デザインと評価」は、消費と生産の連携の強化、多様なステークホルダーの活動を通 じて、SDGs の目標 12 である持続可能な消費と生産(SCP)パターン定着のための政策デザインを目標としている。 生産側から環境配慮製品の優遇のような効率改善型政策 や資源循環政策を検討する一方で、消費行動の変容を促す“充足型政策”についても議論している。こうした消費と生産を巻き込んだ政策デザインには、ライフサイクル思考が欠かせない。本企画セッションでは、日本 LCA学会の第22回講演会(2016年12月)および 2 回の参加型討論会(2017年7月...

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...

Upon the invitation by Solid Waste Management Association of the Philippines (SWAPP) to make a presentation on behalf of CCAC-IGES for our ongoing project in the Philippines, I made a presentation on the topic "Development of National Action plan for reduction of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) from Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in...

Poly-tunnels also known as greenhouses are used mostly by farmers to grow crops inside the poly-tunnels by maintaining heat especially in winter. The structure of poly-tunnels helps to warm plants, soil and other things inside faster than heat can escape from the poly-tunnels. Due to extreme cold weather, most of the places in around Tsukuba, the...

Carbon dioxide (CO2), a primary driver of climate change, is responsible for more than half of the total current warming impact of human-caused emissions. Emitted CO2 remains in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, absorbing heat that contributes to a warming effect even after initial CO2 concentrations start falling. Taking this into...

As a part of its wider outreach efforts to raise visibility of IETC and CCET as a collaborative project between UNEP and IGES, CCET has launched a website to communicate the organization, its mandate and operations, as well as to disseminate the knowledge products developed through its operations, with an expectation that it would evolve into an...

Developing Asia’s growing demand for fossil fuels not only adds pressure on the domestic economy of each country due to higher energy bills but also strangulates the region’s environmental health with the growing emissions. The need for poverty reduction and economic development simultaneously forces the region to continue to depend heavily on...
