My primary research interest is in the area of sustainable development and social equality. I worked on the topics within the framework of the normative coherence for sustainable development (NCSD) which promote a “whole of government” approach to the pursuit of sustainable development objectives. This approach integrates the dimensions of sustainable development and norms throughout domestic and international policy-making. In my research, I specifically focus on social equality in climate-sensitive areas of Asia. I address a certain problem in the region by 1) providing solutions for synergies and maximizing benefits across economic, social, and environmental policy areas; 2) studying the coherence of domestic policy objectives and internationally recognized sustainable development goals; and 3) addressing the transboundary and long-term impacts of policies, including those likely to affect countries.
