Flood risks are on the rise in many ASEAN countries and understanding and addressing underlying vulnerabilities and sensitivities assume importance for an effective risk reduction. Given the multi-faceted nature of flood vulnerabilities, a mixed-methods approach is necessary to consider both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of...

The flood vulnerability assessments conducted in Lao PDR and Myanmar inform us of at least eight messages to strengthen the flood risk reduction. These messagfs are 1. Stilted houses are the backbone of flood resilience, 2. Design of early warning should take into consideration the mobility of humans, assets and health facilities, 3. Flood...

This paper provides good practice examples of strategies that governments have already implemented to contribute to a sustainable and resilient recovery from COVID-19 and to a longer-term redesign of their economies, which align with global goals and makes recommendations for further action. The target audience is national- and subnational-level...

国連環境計画（UNEP）が発表した「Emissions Gap Report 2021: The Heat Is On - A World of Climate Promises Not Yet Delivered」エグゼクティブ・サマリーの日本語翻訳版（暫定非公式訳）。予想される温室効果ガスの排出量とパリ協定の目標を達成するために削減すべき排出量との差である「排出ギャップ」について分析を行っている。 今回の報告書は、最新の国別排出削減目標（NDC）および2030年に向けた緩和策の誓約について、2030年の世界の排出量や排出ギャップに限定的な影響しか与えず、2030年の予測排出量はこれまでの無条件NDCと比較して7.5%しか削減を上積みできないことを明らかにしている。一方で、温暖化を2...

The extensive work on the increasing burden of aerosols and resultant climate implications shows a matter of great concern.

The present paper explores the existing scientific research on water that directly connects to SDG 6 using the bibliometric...

熱帯泥炭地における温室効果ガス（ GHG ）排出抑制は喫緊の課題である。インドネシア政府の泥炭地政策は、過去 10 年で排水開発から高水位管理へと大きく転換した。しかし、 GHG 排出抑制には泥炭ドーム全体の水位回復が必要であり、多様なステークホルダーが同じ泥炭ドームを利用する現状では、泥炭ドーム全体の水位管理は容易ではない。本稿では、西カリマンタン州の泥炭地を事例として、ステークホルダー間の連携促進策について論じる。
