Mikiko Kainuma

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]
