Coastal cities in Vietnam are increasingly impacted by rapid environmental changes and the growing frequency and magnitude of hydrometeorological hazards, such as extreme precipitation and droughts. One of the most significant challenges posed by climate change is the imbalance of water resources availability between the wet and dry seasons. Both...

IGES Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Database provides detailed information on the JCM methodologies, projects, and JCM feasibility studies to be utilized for research and development of JCM project. The JCM is being implemented under bilateral cooperation between Japan and 29 partner countries: Mongolia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, Viet...

Vermicelli production generates wastewater that is rich in organic and nutrient pollutants, which poses significant environmental challenges. Conventional biological treatments, either alone or in combination with other methods, often fail to achieve high efficiency and operational stability. This study explored the potential of the Fenton process...

The Mekong Delta region is increasingly challenged by a declining and irregular water budget over recent decades. This trend is evidenced by altered precipitation patterns, characterized by drier wet seasons and wetter dry seasons, along with diminished upstream flow and a shifting wet season flood pulse. This study presents a comprehensive...

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is highly vulnerable to drought, particularly in the context of climate change. Prolonged drought during the dry season has emerged as a significant natural disaster, severely affecting agriculture and socioeconomic development in the region. To enhance water resource management and agricultural productivity, this...

Climate and rainfall are extremely non-linear and complicated phenomena, which require numerical modelling to simulate for accurate prediction. We obtained local historical rainfall data for 12 meteorological stations in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) for the 45-year period 1978–2022, to predict annual rainfall trends. A statistical time series...

The Mekong Delta, South East Asia's ‘rice bowl’, sustains more than 18 million people through its agricultural output. This yield is secured by efficient water management systems but is susceptible to climatic changes. As Vietnam's policies aim to optimize the delta's semi-mountainous regions reliant on rain-fed agriculture, this study investigates...

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of green industrial policy strategies recently advanced by the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), and extends insights to the evolving policy landscape in Japan. Its analysis underscores how the European strategy is characterized by a systematic approach that balances emissions constraints...

Globally, mangroves have been promoted to protect the coastal ecosystems and human settlements against weather vagaries including climate change impacts. However, climate change can also affect the mangrove ecosystems, affecting their ability to mitigate losses and damages caused by climate change. Recognizing the need to understand the impact of...

本稿は，ガーナ，インドネシア，ベトナムの3 カ国でプラスチック汚染対策のためのステークホ ルダー協働の制度化に，「中心的なアクター」と しての役割を果たしたと考えられるナショナル・ プラスチック・アクション・パートナーシップ （NPAP）について，著者らが実施した調査・分析 に基づいている（Asokan et al., 2023）．NPAPは， 世界経済フォーラムのイニシアティブであるグ ローバル・プラスチック・アクション・パート ナーシップ（GPAP）の一環として各国単位で形成 されたイニシアティブである．本研究の目的は， このNPAPの事例を通じて，プラスチック汚染対 策のステークホルダー協働の仕組みについて分析 し，現在合意に向けた交渉が行われているプラス...
