S-14-2 Integration of mitigation and adaptation measures through ecosystem conservation
Achievement target
Integrated evaluation of mitigation and adaptation measures to preserve ecosystem in tropical, temperate and cold regions
Research outline
The ecosystem itself has functions such as carbon storage and climate regulation, and at the same time has the effect of reducing the risks of natural disasters caused by climate change, such as rising temperatures, rising sea levels, waves, and work. Therefore, conservation of ecosystems can be effective for both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In addition, there is a trade-off between the current generation’s economic benefits from private activities and the increase in ecological risks, including future generations, resulting from the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. We will predict future changes in ecosystem services based on multiple policy scenarios, clarify the relationship between the benefits of global (whole Earth’s sphere) and local mitigation measures and adaptation measures, and the trade-offs between them. Therefore, we will clarify the impact of resilience or weakening of the terrestrial ecosystem on disaster risk (sub-theme (2)), evaluate ecosystem services that contribute to the development of information on the distribution of coastal ecosystems and mitigation adaptation measures (sub-theme (3)), quantitatively predict the response of the mitigation and adaptation functions of coastal ecosystems and evaluate them economically (sub-theme (5)), conduct Integrated assessment of mitigation and adaptation measures based on the prediction of macro-scale impacts on inter-species interaction and ecosystem services in forest ecosystems (sub-theme (4)), and clarify the impact of climate change and ecosystem services affected by the climate change measure (sub-theme (1)).
