Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) have been developed by global climate change communities for analyzing long-term global societal transitions through science-driven analysis. SSPs can be transformed into local-scale socioeconomic pathways; however, the urban scale requires an in-depth understanding of specific local significant factors. Three...

Climate change has been one of the central issues for long-term transformations of cities. However, environmental loads have not been effectively taken into account for future urban plans. Specifically, possible reductions of carbon emissions from cities significantly rely on technological progress and human lifestyle changes, among other factors...

Achieving long term climate mitigation targets for Japan requires deep transformations in the energy system, in particular in the power generation sector. Decarbonization of this sector is unclear due to the uncertain nuclear policy after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. However, many other uncertainties need to be considered, namely the...

We assess the feasibility of Japan’s NDC along with 80% emission reduction by 2050, comparing the role of uncertain nuclear power deployment to other key uncertainties by means of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model.

This study evaluates the effect of climate uncertainties on the transformations in the global energy system needed for realizing mitigation targets in the long term. Climate uncertainties affect the amount of allowable emissions from human activities that are consistent with a given climate target, and, thus, the range of necessary energy...

SDGs form an indivisible framework. Achieving one goal or target may impact on achieving others. It is important to shift from the conventional siloed approach to an integrated approach by taking account the interlinkages between the targets and among the goals. To contribute to building the knowledge on SDG interlinkages and providing a practical...

Rapid changes in land use and land cover pattern have exerted an irreversible change on different natural resources, and water resources in particular, throughout the world. Khambhat City, located in the Western coastal plain of India, is witnessing a rapid expansion of human settlements, as well as agricultural and industrial activities. This...

エネルギー対策特別会計を用いた海外でのCO2排出削減事業の効果測定、優先順位付け等に貢献することを目的に、以下の業務を実施した。 （１）海外のCO2排出削減事業の事業実施後におけるＣＯ２削減効果の検証として、JCMスキームが実績を重ねつつある状況において、JCMスキームが優れた低炭素技術の導入にいかに貢献するか評価するために、現状におけるJCMスキームの優位性の検討を、１）海外のCO2排出削減事業の事業実施後におけるCO2削減効果の検証、２）JCMスキ－ムを活用した低炭素技術の優位性の評価・検証、３）ケーススタディとの比較におけるJCMスキーム優位性の評価・検証にかかる調査を通じて行い、評価・検証のため、調査結果をまとめた。 （２）環境インフラ展開　にかかる調査として、１）基礎情報...
