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.

Career

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).

In 2022, Kainumar received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC).[8]
