2nd International Forum on Sustainable Future in Asia 2nd International Forum

The world is now gearing towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) and the Paris agreement- the two landmark agreement’s which was formally adopted by the UN General Assembly and UNFCCC COP21 in 2015. In this regard, it is important to verify the major steps taken by national and regional governments in meeting the global commitment especially on climate change, waste management, biodiversity, environmental risks and social well-being of the society in general. Though the international commitments provide a framework for national and regional governments to develop national and regional plans incorporating the needs of sustainable development and the Paris Agreement, there are several impeding factors or challenges in implementing such action plans.

As a step towards understanding and addressing these problems, National Institute of Environmental Studies (NIES) initiated a Forum on Sustainable Future in Asia in collaboration with Asian Institute of Technology and the University of Tokyo. The purpose of the forum was to understand the institutional architecture and policy framework in order to help mankind leapfrog towards the sustainable future. The forum attracted several scholars and practitioners from ASIA and a joint statement was also released highlighting the needs for identifying intuitional architecture and policy frameworks that can help mankind leapfrog towards the sustainable future. The important of the role of knowledge networks and institutional support mechanism for trans-boundary was also highlighted. It was also realized that for meeting global commitments, the need for local action is imperative and scientist and practitioners working at the local level has to be engaged in discussions at the global level.

The objective of this forum is to understand the efforts made by scientist, policy-makers and enterprises to secure a sound a sound environment in Asia, determine the shifts in policy and institutional transformations and identify the gaps that threaten sustainable development in the region.

Based on the assessments, the forum will seek new ways of building bridges between science and policy through simulating discussions among keys stake holders, catalyzing coherent researchers on relevant policy issues through knowledge networks and institutional mechanisms to support trans-boundary thinking and problem-solving, and determining feasible paths towards truly sustainable societies through converting aspirations into actions at local, national and regional levels.

1. Environmental Monitoring using Satellites

In this thematic area, the focus will be on the use of satellites for environmental monitoring including greenhouse gasses and atmospheric pollution monitoring using Greenhouse gasses Observing Satellite (GOSAT) and its successor, GOSAT-2.

2. Environmental Risk and Health

Environmental risk and health is a major issue in Asia. Health constrains caused due to air and water pollution has triggered major constrains in the society. In order to overview the status of health and environmental risks, the forum will also look closely into the developments that have been made in addressing these problems.

3. Biodiversity

Asian region is rich in biodiversity and is also a hub for ecosystem services. However, rapid development, industrial growth and illegal harvesting have led to depletion of biodiversity. In order to address this complexity, spatial and temporal information on biodiversity is fundamental. Such information is also required for assessing the various transformation exercises carried out by governments and local bodies in Asia for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

4. Waste Management and Recycling

Waste management and recycling are two major areas which need immediate attention in Asia. The forum will invite scientists and policy makers working on the two topics to bring to light the major steps they have initiated. Also, the forum will share experiences on disaster waste management issues in Tohoku area.

5. Synergizing Adaptation and Migration Actions

Though it is important to design strategies for mitigation and adaptation actions for climate change, the synergetic actions between the adaptation and mitigation should also be prioritized. This session has both sides approach and will discuss how to synergize adaptation and mitigation actions in Asia.
