While synergies among climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCA&M) policies clearly exist, little common understanding has been established on how to introduce CCA&M policies in an integrated manner. A holistic approach to land-use planning and management at the local level can help meet this challenge. To test this idea, with support from the...

The current (2014) and future (2025) land cover maps were generated and analyzed for flood modelling. High resolution digital elevation model from LiDAR data was used to generate detailed terrain for accurate flood simulation. Findings from this study will be shared to the local governments to help make their land-use planning climate-sensitive.

This paper provides an overview of Thailand's national policy on municipal solid waste (MSW) management and recycling, which is aligned to the country's sufficiency economic policy and the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle).

Food waste remains a critical issue in Japan, especially in light of the country's low food self-sufficiency rate and shortage of available landfill sites for waste disposal. In order to evaluate options for further preventing and mitigating food waste in Japan, we analyzed food waste trends by estimating the disparity between calorie/protein...

This document is a summary of the launch of the IGES White Paper V during ISAP 2015.

本研究では，アジアの諸都市におけるフィールド調査に基づき，地域ごとの特色の適切な把握，汎用性を踏まえた系統だった制約条件の類型化，技術的な制約条件の整理と途上国における液状廃棄物処理システム整備の基盤情報の体系化，さらに，現地の制約条件に基づいた効果的な液状廃棄物管理戦略を構築する手順の提案を目指した。主な成果は以下の通りである。 ・ KJ 法を援用した参加型手法により，各都市の多様なステークホルダーの参加の下，液状廃棄物管理における潜在的な制約条件を包括的に 9 分類した。データの制約の厳しい途上国都市において制約条件を数値化する方法を構築し，8 都市を対象に数値化およびポートフォリオ化を行うことで液状廃棄物処理システム整備の基盤となる制約条件を体系化した。さらに...
