The economic disruptions from the Ukraine war have intensified short term concerns about energy and food security, as well as access to critical minerals. Climate security is also increasingly urgent. This paper urges governments to speed up, not slow down, transitions away from fossil fuels and toward more sustainable development patterns. The war...

Tracking decarbonization effects requires a model for the identification of spatial energy demands on city facilities. However, most developing countries lack detailed discrete time and device-specific energy demand data. In this study, we installed multiple energy demand monitoring systems that could observe electricity demands at the device level...

1. The ASEAN State of Climate Change Report (ASCCR) presented ASEAN’s mitigation goal: i) Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as early as possible in the latter half of the 21st century; and ii) Cap peak GHG emissions as soon as possible after 2030 to ensure the net-zero GHG emission goal is met on schedule. 2. However, the updated...

This article analyzes which factors influenced willingness to purchase residential electricity savings technologies in Bogor, Indonesia. Survey data collected from 600 households between October and November 2015 was used to test hypotheses on demographic, informational, and participatory determinants of willingness to invest in energy efficient...

Governments are increasingly seeking low-cost ways to curb residential energy use. This article examines the effect of one such innovative approach to energy savings in Bogor, Indonesia: a prepaid electricity meter system. The Bogor prepaid system requires households pay up front for their electricity as the meter tracks consumption and credit. By...

This article outlines ASEAN’s plan to transition toward a resilient and net-zero emission world, based on the ASEAN's first State of Climate Change Report launched on 7 October 2021.

Focusing on Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines (with a share of around 75% of ASEAN’s total emissions), this presentation outlines the current status, and identifies the gaps and the prospect to achieve a high penetration of renewables for energy transition in ASEAN. Overall, the development of renewables is still at an early stage in...

本事業は、北九州市－ダバオ市の都市間連携事業の下、ダバオ市側の要請に基づき、ダバオ市気候変動行動計画（LCCAP）の作成支援を行うと共に、本行動計画に具体的な緩和策を位置づけ、その緩和策の実施のための財源の一つとして二国間クレジット制度（JCM）設備補助事業の活用について検討するものである。具体的には下記のような支援を行った。 1) ダバオ市が進める LCCAP の策定支援（ GHG インベントリの作成支援、 緩和策の検討支援、 適応策の検討支援） 2) ダバオ市内におけるエネルギー分野の低炭素化事業の実施可能性（街灯のLED化） 3) ダバオ市が進める廃棄物発電事業の JCM 設備補助事業の適用可能性の検討

This project has been designed to provide support for the formulation of the local climate change action pan (LCCAP) based on a request from Davao City under city-to-city cooperation between Kitakyushu and Davao. Concrete mitigation measures are positioned in this action plan and the use of the financing programme for Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM...
