CV of Speaker:

Junichi Fujino

He has joined National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) located in Tsukuba, Japan since 2000. He is one of main members to develop the Asia-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM) toestimate climate change impact and to assess policy options forstabilizing global climate. His modeling results were referred to IPCC AR4 WG3 report. He was a lead author of IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources (SRREN).He has fully engaged on ?JapanLow-Carbon SocietyScenario Project? during FY 2004 to FY2008 (GERF) that reduce GHG emissions around 60-80% by 2050 in Japan and structuring ?a dozen actions? to realize technical reduction options. Hejointly coordinated Japan-UK joint research project on Low-Carbon Society to deliver its research outputs for G8 Japan, UNFCCC, and others.Recently he has fully engaged on ?Low-Carbon Asia Scenario Project? during FY 2009 to FY 2013 (GERF). He is one of modelers to provide simulation results to achieve the Japanese target ?25%? GHG emissions reduction by 2020 compared as 1990 level and one of special members of the committee on mid-long term roadmap for GHG mitigation options under Central Environmental Council by Ministry of the Environment Japan, and an advisory committee member of future city planning under the Minister of the State, Japan.He received his B.S./M.S and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from theUniversity of Tokyo. He is so shocked by nuclear power accident at Fukushima due to 311 because he has engaged in energy and climate change research since 1994. He is recently interested in sustainable city design, transition management and would like to be social system designer.
