Mikiko Kainuma (甲斐沼 美紀子) (born 1950) is a Japanese climatologist at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. She is primarily known for her work on climate change and climate policy. [1] [2] She is a lead Japanese author on the 4th and 5th IPCC assessment reports.
Kainuma received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics and physics from Kyoto University, Japan. [3] Since 1977, she has worked on air pollution and climate change at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), [4] where she is currently the Chief of Climate Policy Assessment Research Section. She is a lead author on the Fourth and Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). [5] [6] [7]
Her projects include the Asia-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM) and the Integrated Environmental Assessment sub-project of the Asia-Pacific Environmental Innovation Project (APEIS).
At the 15th Annual Meeting of the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC), conducted virtually from November 29 to December 1, 2022, the consortium celebrated the achievements of Mikiko Kainuma from the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies by bestowing upon her the IAMC Lifetime Achievement Award. [8]
This prestigious award was given to Kainuma for pioneering contributions to Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) in Asia. Her efforts were instrumental in establishing a network of scientists and enhancing the capabilities of the AIM (Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) modeling team at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES). [9] Notably, Kainuma is among the co-founders of the IAMC, underscoring her vital role in the consortium's inception and growth. [10]
