| Research Abstract |
This study (1) conducts vulnerability assessment to climate change in East Asia, (2) discusses wise adaptation, and (3) examines mitigation strategies using multiple calibration decomposition analysis (MCDA). Appropriately, the study (1) identifies some areas of vulnerability in the Mekong delta, Vietnam, (2) suggests a dual approach to climate adaptation (scientific and regional adaptation), (3)evaluates changes in energy use and carbon dioxide emissions in Japan, and shows how these findings could contribute to sustainable countermeasures for addressing climate change in East Asia.
