| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the second year (FY 2023), a global analysis for the entire tropical region was conducted. This involved deriving the climate change mitigation potential index, the biodiversity conservation potential index, and the disaster risk reduction potential index. Additionally, an overall composite index, named the co-benefit index, was created by combining all three indexes.
