The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the 2030 Agenda) and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were intended to motivate governments to transform conventional development patterns (United Nations, 2015). However, the lack of progress on the SDG suggests the national institutions and processes supporting this transformation may not be...
Discussion Paper
While the world is not on track to achieve the SDGs, some countries have performed better than others. However, several “high performing” countries have made progress on the SDGs by exporting negative social and environmental externalities as “spillovers” to other countries. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is intended to be a global...
Discussion Paper
Many policymaking processes have promoted a just transition to limit job losses from stronger climate policies over the past five years. However, concerns over how governments allocate resources to help fossil fuel workers transition to new jobs and a recent rise in opposition to decarbonisation has weakened support for the concept. This paper...
Discussion Paper

Policymakers have nonetheless been slow to incorporate synergies in...

Issue Brief
筆者らは環境研究総合推進費【課題番号1MF-2203】の助成を受けて「いかなるFURが変革をもたらし得るのか?」という問いのもと、特にガバナンスの役割に着目して理論的・実証的検討を行ってきた。本ペーパーは、これまでの研究で得られた知見を基に、日本におけるSDGsのFURについて、改善の方向性を提起することを目的としている。筆者らは、実施した調査分析と文献レビューに基づきFURの方法論を構築しており(Amanuma et al. 2025)、本ペーパーは、それを踏まえつつ特定した日本のFURにおける7つの主要課題と、具体的かつ実行可能な提言をまとめたものである。それらの提言は、2030年に向けた短期的な行動と、2030年以降の枠組みを見据えた中長期的な制度設計の両面を視野に入れて構成されている...
Submission to Policy Process
SDGsの達成に向けた取り組みを着実なものとするためには、SDGsの実施をモニタリングし、レビュー(評価)し、その結果に基づいて取り組みの改善を図るプロセスが非常に重要であるため、SDGsを承認した国連加盟国は、自発的国家レビュー(Voluntary National Review:VNR)という形で進捗を報告することが求められています。 VNRは毎年7月に開催されている「国連持続可能な開発のためのハイレベル政治フォーラム(HLPF)」で発表が行われており、日本政府は2017年7月に最初のVNRを公表しました。そして2025年のHLPFへの提出に向け、3回目のVNRが実施され、外務省主導でパブリックコメントが募集されました。 地球環境戦略研究機関(IGES)は、SDGsの策定、実施...
