Submission to Policy Process
新型コロナウイルス感染症（以下、COVID-19）は、地域における健康上の危機から、世界においてすべてを覆い尽くす世界的大流行（パンデミック）・経済災害へと大きく変化した。COVID-19の感染は急速に広がり、世界のほぼすべての地域の人々の日常生活が大きな影響を受けている。実際、2020年10月には、世界で5,000万人以上が公式にウイルス陽性と診断され、その結果150万人以上が死亡し、北半球が冬を迎え、屋内での時間が増えるにつれ、これらの数字は急速に増大しつある。このような事態は、地方から国、国際に至るあらゆるレベルの公的主体が、現状への対策および将来への復興プログラムに関して、分野と国境を越えて密接に調整し協力する必要性を明確にしている。 IGESでは、上記のような認識に基づき...

Commentary (Op. Ed)
10月26日に行われた、菅内閣総理大臣の所信表明演説で「2050年脱炭素社会の実現」を目指すとした方針についての、IGESコメントです。 脱炭素化の方向性と時間軸を明確に示すことは、企業や投資家の長期的視点に立った経営・投資判断を支えることにつながります。また、2050年脱炭素化は、パリ協定が目指す1.5℃目標にも整合する非常に野心的な目標で、総理大臣自らが2050年脱炭素化社会の実現を宣言したことをIGESは大いに歓迎します。 一方で、新型コロナウイルスによって減速した日本経済の立て直しに向けた経済復興策は、欧州における「欧州グリーンディール」のような、経済刺激策を気候変動やその他の環境課題への対策と結び付ける対策が乏しく、令和3年度予算編成におけるグリーンディールの作り込みが急務です。...
