令和5年度内閣府補正予算 戦略的な研究開発の成果による国内外での社会実装・市場創出の加速 ASEAN地域サプライチェーンの ネイチャーポジティブ化推進に関する調査研究 日本は、パーム油や天然ゴム、木材を始め多くの自然資源の輸入を通して、ASEAN諸国の自然資本に大きく依存している。近年では、自然資本を損なう持続不可能な生産に気候変動の影響も相まって生物資源生産が不安定化しつつあり、日本にとってはASEAN地域における生物資源確保にまつわる経済安全保障問題とも捉えられるようになっている。従って、日本企業による持続可能な生物資源調達の推進により、日本の経済安全保障と併せて、調達先の国々の自然資本の保全と再生、すなわちネイチャーポジティブに貢献できる可能性がある。 そのために重要な動向に...

Just and fair transitions to low-carbon and nature-positive ways of living need to occur fast enough to limit and reverse the climate and nature crises, but not so fast that the public is left behind. We propose the concept of “Regenerative Good Growth” (RGG) to replace the language and practice of extractive, bad GDP growth. RGG centres on the...

The expansion and intensification of bioproduction systems (BPS) have historically contributed to ecosystem loss and degradation. However, recent studies have shown the ability of BPS to supply multiple ES and its potential to contribute to global biodiversity conservation goals. Hence, this study investigates the changes in BPS and land uses...
