The number of mega solar plants in Japan is increasing. Yet, it can be difficult to see the overall picture. From a personal perspective, I’ve seen only those near my home and at travel destinations.
However, a joint research project conducted by the National Institute for Environmental Studies’ Center for Climate Change Adaptation and a similar environmental research center has connected the dots and, using satellite images, fully confirmed the distribution of solar facilities in Japan.
How much land in Japan’s mountains and countryside is taken up by solar facilities?
The above-mentioned research, seeking to answer these questions, has helped to shine a light on the proliferation of mega solar plants in Japan.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) provide a promising means to a climate resilient future. To guide investments in NBS, stated preference studies have become a common tool to evaluate the benefits of NBS in developing countries. Due to subsistence lifestyles and generally lower incomes, SP studies in developing countries increasingly use time payments as an alternative to the traditionally implemented money payments. It remains unclear, however, how time values should be converted into money values, how the payment affects willingness to pay (WTP) estimates, and how this influence varies across settings with different levels of market integration. We compare the results of choice experiments that use either time or money payments and that are implemented in urban and rural Ghana. The choice experiments target to value different NBS aimed at erosion prevention and other ecosystem service benefits along t
