生物多様性・生態系サービスのシナリオ・モデリングには、グローバルや国レベルの広域のものをダウンスケーリングして用いる事が多く、地域の文脈におけるシナリオの妥当性やモデリングの解像度に課題があった。本研究では、これまでの地域の課題や将来ビジョン、地域の関係者とのワークショップで得られた意見にNFFを適用し分類を行った。結果、地域の将来ビジョンとして、社会のための自然利用より、文化としての自然への関心が高いことが明らかになった。さらにこれら地域情報に基づく4つのシナリオナラティブと、これらのナラティブを定量的に表現するための指標のロングリストを作成した。今後、今回得られた定性的なシナリオ（ナラティブ）に基づく数理モデリングを進めるための指標の選択と指標データを用いた計算（ステップ２...

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...
