1 社会科学系の写真 The Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (ERTDF) Strategic R&D Category Ministry of the Environment, Japan Predicting and Assessing and Services (PANCES) (FY ) P.I.: Prof. Kazuhiko Takeuchi Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S), The University of Tokyo Senior Visiting Professor, United Nations University 1 International Context The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Services (IPBES) Provides regular updates on the scientific status and trend of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and their relationship with human wellbeing, Thereby supporting several multilateral agreements and other policy processes. CBD Aichi Biodiversity Targets (by 2020) SATOYAMA Initiative (from 2010) National Biodiversity Strategy UNFCCC IPCC Future Earth IPBES 1, Jan 2013 [Agenda] Scientific assessment and policymaking support from the more transdisciplinary and integrated perspective Strengthen science policy interface (Priority: Scientific assessments and knowledge foundation by collecting credible indigenous and local knowledge (ILK). Implement scientific assessments on biodiversity and ecosystem services at and across subregional, regional and global levels. (Asia Pacific regional assessments) Address methodological issues (Priority: Study on tools and methodologies for scenario analysis and modelling of biodiversity and ecosystem services) Communicate and evaluate platform activities, deliverables and findings. 2

2 Research Objectives and Related Activities Objectives Develop an integrated assessment model of social ecological systems to predict and assess natural and socio economic values of natural capital and ecosystem services under different future scenarios of socio economic conditions and policy options; Design a new conceptual framework to promote multilevel governance of natural capital to maintain and improve inclusive wellbeing ; Demonstrate the integrated assessment model at both national and local scales in Japan, and examine effectiveness and applicability to other areas in Japan and beyond. Past related activities 3 Framework of the PANCES Project Crises that biodiversity and ecosystem services are confronting in Japan Crisis 1: Overuse Crisis 2: Underuse Crisis 3: Invasive spp. Crisis 4: Global changes Theme 1. Development of an integrated model of social ecological systems and scenario analysis < Assessment and projection of natural values from ecosystem services> Theme 2. Terrestrial ESs Provisioning Assessment and projection of socio economic values of ESs Regulating Theme 4. Theme 3. Marine ESs Cultural Multilevel governance of natural capital and inclusive wellbeing Drivers (direct & indirect) <Social Changes> Depopulation Land use change Underuse Science and Technology Trade, etc. <Environmental Changes> Climate change Ocean acidification Natural disasters, etc. Contribution to sustainable development and the inclusive wellbeing based on the mid long term assessment and projection Feasibility study of other Asian areas (Theme 1) 4

5 Multi level Nested Governance of It is necessary to create mechanisms for collaborative management in order to avoid degradation of natural capital as stock, and to promote sustainable provision of ecosystem services. It is necessary to explore new governance structures, or new commons where various stakes engage in horizontal cooperation. It would be effective to build multi level and nested governance structures that value bottom up activities at the local level while connecting with global networks. Global/ Regional/ National Multi level nested collaborative governance Local UN Nations Aid Int l agencies NGOs Regional communities Governments initiatives (top down) Multi level governance of natural capital Farmers, foresters, fishers Urban residents Co ops Small Local gov t enterprises Universities Local NPOs communities Local collaborations (Bottom up) Multinational companies Mechanism for cooperative management of natural capital based on nested collaboration among different stakes 9 Study Sites & Science Policy Society Interface Study Sites: Japan wide assessment Three major case study sites Hokkaido (Bekanbeushi River Basin) Noto Peninsula & Sado Island Okinawa Islands Japan wide assessment of natural capitals and ecosystem services Science Policy Society Interface: Participatory scenario co design with multistakes Collaboration with local governments, policy makers and practitioners including private sectors Promote multi level governance of natural capital through connecting international initiatives and local actions Noto peninsula Sado island Hokkaido Okinawa 10

Contributions to national and local biodiversity strategy action plans in Japan. [Outcomes] Promote implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and localization of Inclusive Wealth Index. Collaborate with international global environment research initiatives such as Future Earth. Contribute to the establishment of Green Economy in Asian region through efforts in International SATOYAMA Initiative.
