本業務は、アジア太平洋気候変動適応情報プラットフォーム(以下「AP-PLAT」)の適応支援のうち、域内各国の気候変動適応計画(以下「NAP」という。)の策定や実施を今後さらに推進するため、AP-PLAT ウェブサイトの適応政策に関するコンテンツを拡充することを目的として実施した。具体的には、気候変動適応に関する最新の国際的な動向、各国の NAP 実施状況、重要セクターの取組に関する情報収集や分析等を行うとともに、それらの成果を AP-PLAT ウェブサイトで公開するため、ウェブコンテンツの作成を行った。

When we say operationalization of something, we may tend to think that the goals are already set and that we are talking about how to implement goals. However, that is not the case here. We don’t have a well-defined global goal/s on adaptation yet. We only have a broad direction on GGA from the Paris Agreement and there is a growing work by...

In contrast to other natural disasters, droughts may develop gradually and last for extended periods of time. TheWorld Meteorological Organization advises using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for the early identification of drought and understanding of its characteristics over various geographical areas. In this study, we use long-term...

This report provides an overview of the work carried out in collaboration with CVF/V20 on the development of regional derivative analysis for East Asia. The report narrates the workshop proceedings that were participated by various experts and practitioners discussing the findings of the CVM3. The presentations included an overview of the CVM...

These proceedings pertain to the JSPS-ICSSR seminar entitled ‘Understanding and Addressing Systemic Risks Behind the Socio-economic Impacts of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in Japan and India: Developing a Roadmap for a Resilient and Sustainable Future’. Led by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the Indian Institute...

East Asia has unique regional demographic and socioeconomic characteristics that put the adaptation in the region with more public good benefits. The findings of the Climate Vulnerability Monitor 3 should be read from the perspective of the region's unique characteristics. The findings affect the region by bringing trends that the region has not...

The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is one of the highly significant mountainous regions that play a crucial role beyond its boundaries in terms of people's well-being by providing a range of ecosystem services. The HKH region is facing severe climate change impacts and adaptation in the region needs to take an approach that considers the multi-hazard...

The response of land surface phenology (LSP) to the urban heat island effect (UHI) is a useful biological indicator for understanding how vegetated ecosystems will be affected by future climate warming. However, vegetation cover in rural areas is often dominated by cultivated land, whose phenological timing is considerably influenced by...

This presentation dwells on reasons why COVID-19 should be considered a transboundary risk and what it means for risk management in Asia. Transboundary risks are risks that emanate from outside the boundaries of a country or region. Countries have always faced transboundary risks. Wars for example are a typical example of a transboundary risk as...

More than 90 systematic reviews have been conducted on the topic of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation (NBS-CCA). These prior reviews, however, are scattered across more than 45 different peer-reviewed journals and gray literature sources, making it difficult to follow all of the knowledge generated and remaining research gaps. In...
