In this volume, we seek to contribute to the understanding of how different kinds of values, which have been called “multiple values of nature” (we will use the initialism “MVN” for the purposes of this volume), are provided and maintained through sustainable use of biodiversity in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS). The...

Barachois is a term used to describe a historical seascape in Mauritius, composed of brackish water lagoons enclosed by stone walls traditionally used for fish farming under French rule before 1800. The description includes the patches of mangroves and coastal woodlands surrounding the lagoons. However, these areas are now mostly abandoned and have...

In this volume, we seek to contribute to the understanding of how different kinds of values, which have been called “multiple values of nature”, are provided and maintained through sustainable use of biodiversity in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) management. Included here are case studies that demonstrate how...

Green fractional vegetation cover (fc) is an important phenotypic factor in the fields of agriculture, forestry, and ecology. Spatially explicit monitoring of fc via relative vegetation abundance (RA) algorithms, especially those based on scaled maximum/minimum vegetation index (VI) values, has been widely investigated in remote sensing research...

Identifying relatively important ecosystem services beforehand is essential for efficient and effective assessment. Using a best-worst scaling (BWS) method, we investigated the relative importance of cultural ecosystem services (CES) in Japan, where the second phase of national ecosystem service assessment is under consideration. Classifying CES...

In August 2019, the IPCC [1] Special Report on Climate Change and Land [2] (SRCCL), which synthesises the latest available scientific knowledge on the relationship between climate change and land use, was released. When we think about land use, the concept sounds somewhat distant from our day-to-day lives; however, various resources, including food...

IGES 研究員が、 SDGs 推進本部幹事会が作成し、内閣府と外務省が意見募集した「持続可能な開発目標（ SDGs ）実施指針（改定版）の骨子」に対して提出したパブリックコメントです。 実施指針（改定版）の骨子は以下よりご覧いただけます。 https://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/singi/sdgs/pdf/jisshi_shishin_r011108.pdf

2019 年７月に、SDGs のレビューを行う年に1 度の閣僚級会合である、ハイレベル政治フォーラム（HLPF ）が開催され、2000 人近くの参加者が、SDGs の進捗状況やベストプラクティスについて情報を交換し、今後取るべきアクションについて議論を展開した。本会合では、地域で実践されている地に足のついたソリューションへの注目が高まると同時に、自治体主体のSDGs 実践やそのモニタリングに関する施策が聴衆の関心を呼んだ。IGES が2018 年に世界に先駆けて行った自発的自治体レビュー（VLR ）、VLR に関するオンラインプラットフォームであるVLR Lab. も各国自治体の関心を惹き、実際に多くの自治体がVLR を実施していることが明らかになった。また、国連環境計画（UNEP ）は...

It is more than 4 years since the 2030 agenda for sustainable development was adopted by the United Nations and its member states in September 2015. Several efforts are being made by member countries to contribute towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The progress which had been made over time in achieving SDGs can be...
