This document summarizes the career and experience of Junichi Fujino as a system engineer. It discusses that he grew up in Osaka and studied sustainability, thermodynamics, and electrical engineering at Tokyo University. He then joined NIES/AIM in 2000 and contributed to IPCC reports through modeling Asia-Pacific climate change mitigation actions. As project manager, he led a Japan LCS research project developing local low-carbon society roadmaps. He has since worked on numerous projects analyzing low-carbon scenarios and advising the Japanese government on emissions targets. The document outlines his continued work providing policy support and building international collaboration networks to advance low-carbon development.

Join NIES/AIM (Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) team in 2000
■ Asia-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM) is a family of analytical models which are
developed by research institutes in Japan. AIM contributes IPCC reports,
discussion on climate change mitigation actions in Japan and Asian countries.
■ AIM can be regarded as “researchers network”, because AIM is developed and
applied through collaboration with researchers in various countries.

LCS is not only to avoid dangerous
climate change, but also to…
• Avoid energy resource battles by using
resources in efficient ways
• Develop many innovations to support
global sustainable development
• Build safe and sound society considering
appropriate land-use and city planning
• And our happy life!
We need good systems to pledge
people’s activity for LCS
