Ohyama Memorial Hall, NIES, JapanNovember 27-28, 20171

Themes at Discussion (Session 10)

Research and Implementation toward decarbonized society
1. Research collaboration in short-term (research budget) andlong-term (topics)• Short: S-12 (SLCP) will finish in March 2019 (FY 2018). What is the next topic?
In order to start next research from FY 2019, we will apply new research
proposal to ERDTF in November 2018.
• Long: What is requests to AIM?

2. Research toward IPCC AR6• Presentation by Prof. Shukla on November 27.

3. Policy support based on the Paris Agreement (NDC, long-term
low GHG strategy, adaptation strategies, etc.)• From model to implementation.
• Linking SDGs.

2. Research toward IPCC AR6• One of the most important activities for us.
• See presentation by Prof. Shukla in Session 2.

2-1704: MunicipalLCS(2017-2019)2018• In order to propose a new research project which will start in 2019,"What is important topic?" and "What is new?" should be clear now.
• What kind of new model/framework is needed?

3. Policy support based on the Paris Agreement (NDC,long-term low GHG strategy, adaptation strategies, etc.)• How to proceed: for example...
For research
For implementation• Research collaboration• Capacity building• New topics• New models• New analyses• Collaboration within AIM team• Collaboration with other teams• PNNL• CIRED• WI• IIASA• for policy makers• for researchers to support policymakers• Collaboration with variousstakeholders• LoCARNet and LCSRNet areexisting platform. How to use?
