2 What is APEIS? Asia Pacific Environmental Innovation Strategy Project -Registered as Type II Partnership Initiative at WSSD How to achieve innovation? 1providing scientific tools and policy options 2promoting capacity building of experts 3promoting outreach activities

3 IEM- Integrated Environmental Monitoring IEM has been developing an integrated monitoring system to detect and monitor environmental disasters and degradation of natural resources such as floods, droughts, dust storms, forest fires, air and water pollution, and desertification. It also assesses ecosystem services such as water, heat, and carbon cycling, biodiversity and food production in the Asia-Pacific region Monitoring Network GIS Database Geographical Socio-economical Soil & Nutrients Soil Moisture APEIS-Flux Measurements Rain fall Runoff APEIS-MODIS Network Data Evapotranspiration Agriculture Production Nitrogen Cycling Carbon Cycling Evaporation Fukang Beijing Tsukuba Water & Heat Cycling Groundwater Biomass & Biodiversity Integrated Model Singapore Coverage of MODIS Data Australia Outputs Soil moisture Spot of forest fires Carbon fixation Flood area Land cover change Crop production

4 IEA-Integrated Environmental Assessment IEA has been developing the Asia Pacific Integrated Model (AIM), which is a set of integrated socioeconomic models to predict future states in the Asia Pacific region relevant to sustainable development (e.g., energy, CO 2, impacts on water resources, and material balances). IEA has also been developing a strategic database providing data for the AIM models and to RISPO to facilitate policy research.

5 RISPO-Research on Innovative and Strategic Policy Options RISPO has been developing the Good Practices Inventory (GPI), an inventory of local, national, and transnational activities that contribute to sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. RISPO has been using the GPI to make Strategic Policy Options, packages to help decision-making on sustainable development policy in the region. 8 Sub-themes Innovative financing for renewable energy development Creation of inter-boundary markets for recyclable materials Improving environmental performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) Facilitating community-based tourism in protected areas Promoting environmental education by NGOs Promoting local/indigenous knowledge-based sustainable resource management Development of environmentally sustainable transport systems in urban areas Promotion of biomass energy Good Practices Inventory jp/apeis/rispo Analysis Strategic Policy Options Policy Area Strategy 1 SPO -SPO1 Brief description -SPO2 Background Strategy 2 Critical instruments.
