This presentation introduces the "Climate pOlicy assessment and Mitigation Modeling to Integrate national and global Transition pathways" (COMMIT) project. The project aims to: 1) improved modelling of national low-carbon emission pathway; and 2) improved analysis of country contributions to the global ambition of the Paris Agreement. This project...

This study presents a multi-model analysis of long-term climate policy of Japan, whose mid-century strategy is subject to an ongoing policy debate, focusing on the carbon dioxide emissions in the energy sector. The models demonstrate multiple future pathways of the low-carbon energy system in Japan. The median of marginal abatement cost is found to...

We assess the feasibility of Japan’s NDC along with 80% emission reduction by 2050, comparing the role of uncertain nuclear power deployment to other key uncertainties by means of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model.

This poster presentation received The People's Choice Award at the 13th Biennial International Conference on Ecobalance, 9-12 Oct. 2018, Tokyo, Japan. The poster was selected among over 90 posters by the votes of the participants. The Paris Agreement envisions a net negative carbon society by the second half of the century. Existing studies on...

Achieving long term climate mitigation targets for Japan requires deep transformations in the energy system, in particular in the power generation sector. Decarbonization of this sector is unclear due to the uncertain nuclear policy after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. However, many other uncertainties need to be considered, namely the...

More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities. And half of this, lives in Asia. And from all of these people living in the world’s cities, more than 80% are exposed to poor air quality and experiencing air pollution, especially in Asia. This air pollution is mainly related to the global phenomenon of GHG emission, which mostly...

This presentation outlines the analysis results of a questionnaire survey targeting the households in Hyogo prefecture, which received the ‘Uchi-eco Diagnosis’ (A tool to check the household energy use and recommend carbon mitigation countermeasures). It is indicated that solar PV and energy efficient water heaters have been largely applied in the...

東アジア環境政策研究会（REEPs）の科研研究プロジェクト（基盤研究（A））「東アジアの持続可能な未来に向けたエネルギー、資源、土地利用の大転換と制度改革」は東アジアレベルでのエネルギー、資源、環境など総合的な視点からの問題把握と解決への処方箋を見出すことを目的とします。この度、エネルギー分野の最一線で活躍されている中国国家発展改革委員会エネルギー研究所のZhou Fuqiu主任とFeng Shenbo研究員、Den Liangchen研究員、地球環境戦略研究所（IGES）の昔宣希研究員を招聘し、講演を行います。

本稿では日本の2050年までの温室効果ガス，エネルギーシステムのシナリオを，複数のエネルギーモデルもしくは統合評価モデルを用いて定量化し，それらを相互比較することによって，不確実性を踏まえた長期の気候政策の評価を行う。

Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment Conservation (MONREC), Myanmar introduced EIA procedure (EIAP) in December 2015. The Ministry of Environment Japan (MOEJ) was considering to support Myanmar which stands at the initial stage of effective implementation of EIA. As a starting point, MOEJ, Institute of Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)...
