1.Efficient and reliable methods for estimating animal density are essential to wildlife conservation and management. Camera trapping is an increasingly popular tool in this area of wildlife research, with further potential arising from technological improvements, such as video recording functions that allow for behavioural observation of animals...

Article 5 of the Paris Agreement specifies implementation of REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) through results-based payments. Currently, however, REDD+ resultsbased financing is insufficient for incentivizing full implementation of REDD+ by developing countries. In this article, we examine how a new bilateral...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were designed to be “integrated and indivisible, balanc[ing] the three dimensions of sustainable development." The growing need for integration has given rise to a number of tools and research that can help capture synergies and avoid trade-offs across goals and targets. These include tools that employ...

Literature suggests a significant potential for synergies among climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCA & M) policies, especially in urban areas. However, the understanding of how best to integrate CCA &M is limited despite the fact that there is an increasing interest, particularly in Southeast Asian countries, in achieving the integration...

This report presents a snapshot of REDD+ readiness in Indonesia, a country with forests of great importance to its people and the globe, and one that has been at the forefront of the international REDD+ movement.

Land cover change (LCC) can have a significant impact on human and environmental well-being. LCC maps derived from historical remote sensing (RS) images are often used to evaluate the impacts of past LC changes and to construct models to predict future LC changes. Free moderate spatial resolution (~30 m) optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR)...

IPBES「花粉媒介者、花粉媒介及び食料生産アセスメントレポートの政策決定者向け要約」は、2016年2月に開催された第４回IPBES総会で採択、発表されました。しかし、その質の高さや日本における課題との関連の深さにも関わらず、レポートが日本語に翻訳されていないこともあり、日本国内ではこの内容まではあまり知られていませんでした。IGESでは、日本のより多くの方々にこの内容について触れて頂けるように、政策決定者向け要約のうち、「主要なメッセージ」（Key messages）に加え、背景情報として冒頭の序文（Foreword）と関連する表を中心に抄訳しました。
