ビジョン創発型政策形成は、脱炭素や脱プ ラスチックなどの中長期的な政策目標の実現 へ向けた持続可能な社会のビジョンの共有、政策の完全実施前のビジョンに基づく社会実 験を包含している。そして、関係者間の連携によるビジョンの共創と社会の方向性に関する合 意形成と持続可能性の社会的側面が重視される。これは、SCP3.0 時代における持続可能性の課題は、環境政策分野にとどまるものではなく、広く社会技術システムのデザインに関 わるものであることに由来する。ここで提示した協働デザインによるビジョン創発型政策形成 のフレームワークは、研究者と政策担当者による将来シナリオ分析や社会実験による社会デ ザインへ向けた連携の重要性を明確に示すものである。

Conference Paper
環境科学会 2021年会
本稿では、 Hotta et al. (2021) での議論に基づき、持続可能な消費と生産（ SCP ）の政策概念が、汚染防止とクリーナープロダクション（ SCP 1.0 ）から、製品・物質のライフサイクルアプローチ（ SCP 2.0 ）、さらに消費と生産を駆動する社会技術システムのシステムレベルでの転換アプローチ（ SCP 3.0 ）へと展開してきたことを報告する。その上で、社会技術システムへの転換が SCP 政策の目的となった 2015 年以降、 SCP1.0 と SCP2.0 で有効であった政策アプローチとデザインを意識的に更新する必要があることを論じる。最後に、こうした政策デザインの更新の方向性を Envisioning-based Policy Making...
