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...

Behavioural insight interventions, alongside traditional policy measures, offer promising solutions to nudge consumers away from single-use plastic consumption. This comprehensive Guidance Note shares practical lessons on the application of behavioural insights in four ASEAN countries: Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The...

Peat swamp forests are one of the unique ecosystems of Southeast Asia. These forests are not only a large carbon stock, but also a refuge for rich biodiversity. To understand the faunal composition and the effect of land-use changes in peat swamp forests, we investigated ground-dwelling mammals and birds using camera traps in a natural peat swamp...

Tropical peatlands have increasingly been targeted for logging or conversion to plantations in recent years. Tropical peatlands are unique ecosystems rich in biodiversity, but they have not attracted as much researcher attention as tropical forests, for example. There is still limited understanding of the ecological significance of peatland...

Open waste burning is a widespread practice that is provoked by a lack of systematic waste collection, the unavailability of other disposal options, and inadequate land for the final disposal of the collected waste, especially in low- and middle-income countries. From a global perspective, two billion people have no waste collection at all, and the...

One emerging issue in Padang City, Indonesia is waste management.

This chapter evaluated the potential of SBAS InSAR technology to monitor the land subsidence and its environmental impacts in tropical peatland area from Sintang Regency, Borneo Island, Indonesia. Result shows that 0.354 Mt carbon was lost annually due to this peat subsidence. Hence, it is suggested that periodic monitoring of Indonesian peatlands...

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...

Purpose Takakura Composting Method (TCM) is a simple and cost-effective aerobic composting method using locally available materials and has been widely introduced in Indonesia and other countries. This study tracked the progress of scaling the TCM up to 1 tonne/day of organic waste input at the decentralised composting centre in Bandung City...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present a complex system of 17 goals and 169 individual targets whose interactions can be described in terms of co-benefits and trade-offs between policy actions. We analyse in detail target-by-target interlinkage networks established by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) SDG...
