Welcome to Hasegawa-Laboratory!
Our laboratory conducts researches mainly on climate change mitigation, using a computer simulation model called “Integrated assessment model” that integrates relevant discipline such as energy, economy, agriculture, land use, and water use into a single platform. We primarily focus on future greenhouse gas emissions, their reduction measures, and economic implications of such climate mitigation policies. Meanwhile, the economic analysis of climate change impacts is also one of the scopes of our studies. Moreover, beyond the climate change issue, to provide solutions to achieve broader sense of sustainable development is the newly focused area in the research arena. We cover multi-scale areas spatially temporally. For instance, spatial resolution varies from national (each country of Asia), whole Asia, to the globe and sometimes gridded scale analysis is also carried out (0.5 °x0.5 °). The temporally coverage is near to long-term future such as next decade to entire this century.

| Pre-release
Plant and animal species across the world are steadily disappearing due to human activity. Our international research group led by International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) published a major new study suggesting that without ambitious, integrated action combining conservation and restoration efforts with a transformation of the food system, turning the tide of biodiversity by 2050 or earlier will not be possible. The study, which has been published in Nature and forms part of the latest Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) Living Planet Report, for the first time set out to explore biodiversity targets as ambitious as a reversal in global biodiversity trends and shed light on what integrated future pathways to achieving this goal might entail.
