AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about climate action through international cooperation
The Kawanishi Lab specializes in climate change and development cooperation, and studies climate action in developing countries.
Under the Paris Agreement, all Parties, including developing countries, are required to set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to report on their progress.
For adaptation to climate change as well, countries are required to put in place processes that run from risk assessment to planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.
Drawing on cases of cooperation the professor has been involved in as a JICA Senior Advisor, the lab works with students to think about how international cooperation on climate action should be done.

ResearchResearch themes
Helping developing countries build the capacity to handle greenhouse gas reporting and adaptation to climate change is also important for strengthening the effectiveness of the Paris Agreement. Against this background, the lab conducts research that analyzes the challenges developing countries face and discusses how international cooperation should be approached.
