Policies are the channels through which governments influence society and make course corrections for intended consequences. Institutions have the power to influence policy processes and outcomes and can determine the way governments engage with society. Policy formulation and implementation thus far have largely been based on populist assumptions...

Climate-fragility risks are on the rise globally and developmental paths taken by countries could be attributed to this rise. To understand the link between development and climate-fragility risks, this chapter presents the findings of the survey conducted by authors with the development practitioners and experts from Asia. The purpose of the...

Food production and productivity improvements have contributed to lifting millions of people out of poverty and reduced hunger and malnutrition, but are associated with patterns of land intensification that have degraded agricultural land and caused great environmental harm. Underlying drivers affecting land conversion to and from agriculture...

The objectives of the session are to emphasize the following points: Climate Change in the Hindu Kush Himalayas will seriously comprise food, nutritional and energy security in the region and downstream, severely challenging abilities of nations – particularly the poorer nations– to achieve the SDGs. There is an urgent need for collective climate...

This session will explore the transboundary risks that result from both the impacts of climate change and the effects of adaptation (positive and negative). It will draw on case studies from within and across the Asia Pacific region, to provide an impetus for increased regional – and subsequently global – action and cooperation.   The session will...

Integrative approaches to land management, such as ecosystems-based approaches and landscape approaches, together with sustainable infrastructure and the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity, provide multiple benefits. By providing stakeholders with a means to work through competing interests over land and natural resources, while at...

生態系を基盤とするアプローチやランドスケープアプローチといった土地管理の統合的アプローチは、持続可能なインフラおよび生物多様性の持続可能な利用と保全と併用することで、複数の利点をもたらす。自然資本を維持することの重要性を強調すると同時に、土地と天然資源の利害相反に取り組むための手段を利害関係者に提供することによって、開発、気候変動適応、および防災に対する国際目標に貢献できる大きな可能性が統合的アプローチにはある。統合的アプローチ、持続可能なインフラ、ならびに生物多様性の持続可能な利用および保全は、アジア太平洋諸国がSDGを達成するための重要な戦略である。統合は、さまざまな地理的スケールおよびタイムスケールにおいて必要となる。国レベルでの適応戦略の開発に焦点が当てられてきたが...

This presentation highlights how enhanced Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) can contribute to the improved effectiveness of transparency and capacity building. Three conclusions are: 1) Fill the research gap in identifying the effectiveness of capacity building approaches at the project level, 2) build M&E good practice guidance so that practitioners...

The Ganges basin provides essential water for drinking, irrigation, industrial use and power generation. Global climate change will affect the water availability in the basin and inevitably intensify the competition for water among major users, particularly from thermal power generation. Knowledge on the spatial distribution of water supply-demand...

2015年9月に開催された国連「持続可能な開発サミット」において、2030年までの15年間の国際的共通目標となる「持続可能な開発目標（Sustainable Development Goals: SDGs）」が採択された。SDGsは環境、社会、経済の発展を調和させ、人類社会の持続的な開発を目指しており、2016年1月から世界的に実施が始まり、2019年に4年目に入っている。9月には4年に一度のSDGs首脳級フォローアップ会合が初めて開催される予定であり、これまでの実績につきレビューが行われる。その進捗状況であるが、現状のペースでは2030年の目標達成には不十分というのが、国連を含む大多数の関係者の一致した見方である。確かに、SDGsの目標は17の多きにのぼり...
