Commissioned Report
2025 年 1 月の第 2 次トランプ政権発足以来、米大統領府は、'\リ協定脱退や石炭産業活性化に関する大統領令を相次いで発出し、米環境保護庁(EPA)は、温室効果ガスの影響に関する危険性認定を含む約 30 項目の環境規制の見直しを公表するなど、トランプ政権は、バイデン政権が進めてきた脱炭素政策からの全面的な見直しを目指しており、米国の環境、気候変動政策は大きく転換している。 また、トランプ政権は国連組織等の国際機関への拠出の一時停止や見直しを行うとともに、国務省、EPA、USAID をはじめとする連邦政府組織の見直し、大規模な人員削減を実施。USAID の機能停止により、世界各地での支援が停止するなど、世界中に影響が広がっている。 本業務では、こうした米国における環境...

Peer-reviewed Article
In Earth System Governance
This paper re-examines Agenda 21 for lessons to improve SDG implementation and contribute to discussions on the post-2030 sustainable development agenda. The SDGs' roots in Agenda 21 have been almost forgotten, as analyses of the SDGs' creation and structure highlighted “governance through goals” as a core feature and presented SDGs as the MDGs'...

Briefing Note
主なメッセージ 本稿では、トランプ政権が気候変動政策を弱体化させようとすることが予想される中、その悪影響を軽減する可能性のある要因や、超党派による前向きな協力の可能性のある分野をいくつか挙げている。 インフレ抑制法（IRA）における気候変動対策など、法律に基づく政策を終わらせるのは非常に難しい。議会において共和党は多数派を占めているが、それが非常に僅差であるため、電気自動車（EV）や蓄電池工場への支援停止など、多くの具体的な反気候変動対策が可決されることはないだろう。 バイデン大統領の規制の多くは覆すことが難しく、法廷闘争に耐えられるように設計されている。規制の変更には複雑で長い手続きを踏む必要があり、トランプ政権の新たな規制は...
