Extracting above-ground biomass in areas corresponding to FAO’s definition of “Forest” using open geospatial data: Results for ASEAN

In ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences

In this study, we extracted above-ground biomass (AGB) information for forests in different ecological zones of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) by integrating freely-available global AGB, forest, and ecological zone map products. Our objective was to assess the suitability of the data and proposed approach for national reporting of...

Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP): Reporting of mitigation actions in the Energy Sector under Art.13

The Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) is for pairs of countries and organisations to learn and practice reporting exercises, namely developing common tabular formats (CTFs) 1, 2 and 5. The output of the MLP can be used as the basis for actual reporting of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs). The MLP is for those who directly...

India's pathway to net zero by 2070: status, challenges, and way forward

In Environmental Research Letters

The announcement of India's 2070 net-zero target has demonstrated the power of a credible policy signal and changed the course of India's climate debate. While the Government of India (GoI) has not specified whether this target refers to carbon-dioxide or all greenhouse gases, the announcement has been a watershed moment in India's climate policy...

Optimizing land use for climate mitigation using nature based solution (NBS) strategy: a study on afforestation potential and carbon sequestration in Rajasthan, India

In Discover Geoscience

Rajasthan faces significant environmental challenges, including the pressing need for effective climate change mitigation strategies. Recognizing afforestation as a vital tool in this endeavor, this study leverages the latest in remote sensing and geospatial analysis to map out the state’s afforestation potential. The goal is to assess land...

Potential of agrivoltaics in ASEAN considering a scenario where agroforestry expansion is also pursued

In Resources, Conservation and Recycling

Integration of solar photovoltaics on croplands (“agrivoltaics”) has been promoted as an environmentally-friendly approach for solar energy deployment. Past studies, however, have not considered that these croplands could alternatively be used as sites for expanding agroforestry, a practice which provides important ecosystem services to the...

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation: Workshop Proceedings

Workshop on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation

In a transition to a net-zero world, large-scale solar PV diffusion is essential in the Philippines and the entire ASEAN region, since its potential is much larger than wind and other renewable energies. Considering the vulnerability of the Philippines and accelerating climate change, it is also vital to make sure that net-zero transition based on...

T7 Italy 2024 Task Force 2 Policy Brief: Enhancing G7 Leadership in Global Climate Action

Accounting for around 40 per cent of the world’s economy, 30 per cent of its energy demand and 25 per cent of energy system CO2 emissions, the G7 is called to play a leading role in building consensus towards implementing the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. This policy brief argues for the urgency for the G7 to intensify its climate ambition...
