In アジア太平洋における持続可能な消費と生産：資源制約を乗り越えてアジアは豊かさを実現できるか
本章では、アジア途上国における持続可能な消費と生産を推進するための政策オプションとして、企業の環境情報開示（CEID）について論じる。アジアで採用されているCEIDイニシアティブ、企業の環境報告書及び環境パフォーマンス評価プログラムを検証・考察する。 ―アジア途上国においてCEIDスキームは環境パフォーマンスの促進に有効であるが、改善が必要な部分もある。企業の環境報告書が的確であることは少なく、環境パフォーマンス評価プログラムは環境パフォーマンスの良くない企業に対しては環境改善に向けより大きなインセンティブとなる。 ―持続可能な生産を大規模に推進するには、CEID政策を一組の政策の一部として捉え、他のＣＣや市場ベースの手段と組み合わせて使うべきである。CEID政策は独立した政策ではなく...
