The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is intended to be a global...

Discussion Paper
Calls to leverage “synergies” to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have increased sharply over the past decade. This rising interest stems from the belief that synergies can lower costs and build support for integrated solutions to planetary crises.

Issue Brief
筆者らは環境研究総合推進費【課題番号1MF－2203】の助成を受けて「いかなるFURが変革をもたらし得るのか？」という問いのもと、特にガバナンスの役割に着目して理論的・実証的検討を行ってきた。本ペーパーは、これまでの研究で得られた知見を基に、日本におけるSDGsのFURについて、改善の方向性を提起することを目的としている。筆者らは、実施した調査分析と文献レビューに基づきFURの方法論を構築しており（Amanuma et al. 2025）、本ペーパーは、それを踏まえつつ特定した日本のFURにおける7つの主要課題と、具体的かつ実行可能な提言をまとめたものである。それらの提言は、2030年に向けた短期的な行動と、2030年以降の枠組みを見据えた中長期的な制度設計の両面を視野に入れて構成されている...

Book
今日、世界は、深刻化する気候変動や生物多様性の損失といった地球規模の諸課題に直面しています。それらの問題には多様な主体が関わっており、問題が生じる要因とその影響は相互に密接に関連しています。そのため、問題解決には、単一の学問領域のみならず複数の学問領域の科学知の動員と社会との連携が不可欠です。本書は、環境・社会・経済の諸課題を俯瞰し、科学と政策を結び付け、持続可能な社会への変革を促すためにIGESが重視する「統合的アプローチ」を解説します。前半では統合的アプローチの背景とこれを構成する7つのプロセスを詳述し、後半の第4章以降ではそれぞれ同アプローチの実践例として、持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）の取り組みを加速するシナジーの強化、国・自治体・アジア都市のネット...
