気候変動と SDGs への行動に向けたシナジーによる解決策：我々の求める未来に向けて、野心ギャップを埋める

Author:
United Nations
本版は、2024年のハイレベル政治フォーラムに際して発表された第二次報告書の「エグゼクティブ・サマリーと提言」部分を翻訳したものである。 ～以下、エグゼクティブ・サマリー冒頭の記述を抜粋～ 持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）のターゲットの80％以上が気候変動に直接関連しており、気候変動と持続可能な開発を別々に扱うことは、もはや不可能である。しかし、この 2 つの重要な課題に共に取り組むことで、影響を倍増させ、何兆ドルもの投資ギャップを埋める方法はある。我々は、断片化と縦割りを打破し、気候非常事態と持続可能な開発に共に取り組まなければならない。さも なければ両面で大惨事を招くリスクがある。 今こそ、根本的な社会変革が必要であり、それは可能である。我々は取り組むべき課題を知っている...

Synthetic fibers are widely used in daily life due to their durability, elasticity, low cost, and ease of use. The textile industry is the primary source of synthetic microfibers, as these materials are mostly used in production processes. Globally, plastic pollution has been identified as a major environmental threat in this era, since plastics...

一般社団法人グローバル・コンパクト・ネットワーク・ジャパン（以下GCNJ）の中期計画に基づく活動「GCNJ コレクティブ・アクション2030」で定めた5つの優先課題のうち、「バリューチェーン・マネジメント（VCM）」部会では、VCM をこれまで日本で考えられていたような「企業の上下流に関することだけ」ではなく、国際的基準に従い「企業自体のビジネスモデルを中核とし、それを取り巻く上下流も含む様々な活動・資源・関係性であること」であると捉え、今後の経営にサステナビリティ課題を組み込むに当たっての VCM の見直しに資する「アクションガイド」を策定いたしました。（IGES小野田は副座長としてVCM部会に参加しました。） バリューチェーン・マナジメント（VCM...

The integrated and indivisible nature of the SDGs is facing implementation challenges due to the silo approaches. We present the three interconnected foci (SDG interactions, modeling, and tools) at the science-policy interface to address these challenges. Accounting for them will support accelerated SDG progress, operationalizing the integration...

世界資源アウトルック2024 - 流れを変える - 資源利用急増の最中における、住みよい地球への道筋 政策決定者向け要約（仮訳）

Author:
International Resource Panel
本書は、2024年2月UNEA6にて発表された、世界資源アウトルック（GRO）2024の内容をコンパクトにまとめた政策決定者向け要約（SPM：Summary for Policymakers）の日本語版。7つの地域、4つの所得国グループに及ぶ180カ国について、利用可能な最善のデータ、モデリングおよび評価を動員し、我々の資源利用の動向、影響、分配効果に関する分析をまとめるとともに、負の傾向を逆転させ、人類を持続可能な軌道へ乗せる可能性についても考察している。 資源利用量の増加が３つの地球危機（気候変動・生物多様性の喪失・汚染）の主な要因となっている。我々の経済活動のための物質資源の採取・加工は、過去50年間で3倍に増加、現在、温室効果ガス排出量の55％以上、粒子状物質（PM...
