気候変動分野における次期枠組み交渉では、2007年に採択されたバリ行動計画を一里塚として議論が進められている。このバリ行動計画に基づく数ある交渉議題の中でも、条約締約国が掲げる温室効果ガスの排出削減目標および削減行動(緩和策)に対する透明性を確保することを目的とした測定・報告・検証(MRV)の構築と具体的な仕組みの設計が、主要交渉議題の一つと位置付けられてきた経緯がある。しかしながら、このMRVの概念が、これら条約締約国におけるGHG排出削減としての緩和の側面に対して適用されることのみならず、途上国締約国に対して供与される支援の側面についても同様に適用されることが共通認識となっていることはあまり知られていない。この途上国支援に対するMRVは...

Most environmental policies are meant to achieve a single goal such as reducing pollution, preserving ecosystems or mitigating climate change. Yet environmental issues are frequently interlinked and approaches that exploit these linkages can deliver more than one desirable outcome. The collection of benefits accruing to actions linking climate...
A series of decisions made at COP18 in Doha, Qatar imposes considerable restrictions on the use of the Kyoto mechanisms by countries that do not submit greenhouse gas reduction targets for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, including Japan. This policy brief overviews the limits to Japan’s use of the Kyoto mechanisms due to the...
This paper examines whether waste-based ethanol production can contribute to the realisation of a sound material-cycle society and what facilitates and hinders the implementation, based on two case studies conducted in Japan. Each of the selected projects is recognised as being the first projects of its kind in the world: ethanol production from...
MRV – Measurement/Monitoring, Reporting and Verification - is commonly understood as a series of processes to quantify GHG emission and their change over time. It is a key instrument to understand the level of emissions and the impact of actions aimed at changing emission levels. For this reason, MRV became a keyword as many developed and...
The cross-border movement of recycables presents an opportunity to develop a sound material-cycle society in the region. The solution is networking international recycling zone in countries within the region. アジアでは、再利用可能な資源(リサイクル資源)の市場が国境を越えて急速に拡大しつつある。その主な原因は、急激な経済成長による資源需要の増大である。一方で、廃棄物の不法投棄や不適切な取扱いの問題が生じ、特に途上国では環境や健康に大きな悪影響が出ている...
