NDC合同会合で示された排出削減経路の含意

Author:
2024年11月25日のNDC合同会合で事務局が提示した日本の排出削減目標案の根拠となったシナリオ分析について、世界全体の1.5℃目標とどのような関係にあるかを検討し、以下の点を指摘する。(1) 世界モデルで評価しているRITEのシナリオ分析に基づくと、排出削減経路として「上に凸」をとれば、日本の排出削減ペースは先進国だけでなく世界全体に比べても緩やかなものになる。 (2) 日本が直線的な削減経路をとった場合、国際合意の根拠となっている1.5℃目標に向けた世界の排出削減経路に比べて削減が遅くなる。 (3) 分析された、先進国は直線的削減かつ世界全体で1.5℃目標を維持しようとするシナリオは、世界全体での排出削減ペースが遅く、1.5℃目標達成に向けてリスクが大きい。

Land use/cover change (LUCC) significantly alters the carbon storage capacity of ecosystems with a profound impact on global climate change. The influence of land use changes on carbon storage capacity and the projection of future carbon stock changes under different scenarios are essential for achieving carbon peak and neutrality goals.

2024年森林宣言評価：政策決定者向け要約

Author:
森林宣言アセスメントパートナーズ
かけがえのない森林：森林は、10億人以上の人々の生活と陸生動植物種の80％の棲みかを提供している。森林は、地球の気候の安定化に不可欠であり、パリ協定で定められた1.5℃の温暖化の抑制に貢献する。森林は、気候、生物多様性、自然が相互に関連し合って生じている危機に対処するための中心的存在であるにもかかわらず、驚くほどの速さで破壊され続け、プラネタリーヘルス（地球の健康）と次世代のウェルビーイングを脅かしている。 「森林に関するニューヨーク宣言」（2014年）、「森林と土地利用に関するグラスゴー首脳宣言」（2021年）、「第1回国連気候変動枠組条約（UNFCCC）グローバル・ストックテイク」（2023年）といった世界的な公約は、ほぼすべての国、そして何百もの企業、市民社会組織、先住民（IP...

The announcement of India's 2070 net-zero target has demonstrated the power of a credible policy signal and changed the course of India's climate debate. While the Government of India (GoI) has not specified whether this target refers to carbon-dioxide or all greenhouse gases, the announcement has been a watershed moment in India's climate policy...
