農地において支柱を立てて上部空間に太陽光発電設備を設置し、下部空間では営農を継続しながら発電を行う営農型太陽光発電（ソーラーシェアリング）は、再生可能エネルギー導入量の拡大が見込めること、農業者の収入拡大による農業経営の改善や6次産業化の推進も期待できることから、政府として推進する方針が掲げられ、様々な制度で導入促進が図られている。 例えば、再生可能エネルギーの導入促進のために固定価格買取制度が導入されているが、営農型太陽光発電と野立太陽光発電で買取価格が区別されていない。しかしながら、両者は費用構造や事業リスクが異なり、導入によってもたらされる便益も異なることから、その性質に則して営農型太陽光発電の推進のための施策が導入されることが望ましい。...

Asia’s rapid urbanization and economic growth over the past few decades have resulted in an increasing number of social and environmental challenges. Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) stands out amongst these issues, as the waste itself is highly visible and prevalent, increasing environmental pollutions (land, air and water), climate change...

This is a survey with recommendation with three objectives intended to help Asian countries to integrate Short Lived Climate Pollutants(SLCP) into NDCs.. • it provides an overview of which countries in Asia have integrated SLCPs (or related terms) into their NDCs. • it offers pragmatic recommendations on how to strengthen that integration at the...

NDCs are the sets of nationally driven actions that countries pledged to the UNFCCC in the wake of the Paris Agreement. Countries in Asia could capitalize on the political and financial support flowing from the Paris Agreement and NDCs to help mitigate Short Lived Climate Pollutants(SLCPs) and curb air pollution. This paper has three objectives...

This report discusses major policy measures implemented by the Japanese government to control BC emissions from both stationary and mobile sources, including: (1) the regulation of soot and dust from stationary facilities; (2) the stepwise development of vehicle emissions standards and fuel quality standards to address diesel emissions; and (3)...

This discussion paper presents the Action Research Project to Develop a National Quality-of-governance Standard for REDD+ and the Forest Sector in Nepal, which was launched by IGES, Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland. The process of developing a voluntary national standard in Nepal through online surveys, key informant...
