2025 年 1 月の第 2 次トランプ政権発足以来、米大統領府は、'\リ協定脱退や石炭産業活性化に関する大統領令を相次いで発出し、米環境保護庁(EPA)は、温室効果ガスの影響に関する危険性認定を含む約 30 項目の環境規制の見直しを公表するなど、トランプ政権は、バイデン政権が進めてきた脱炭素政策からの全面的な見直しを目指しており、米国の環境、気候変動政策は大きく転換している。 また、トランプ政権は国連組織等の国際機関への拠出の一時停止や見直しを行うとともに、国務省、EPA、USAID をはじめとする連邦政府組織の見直し、大規模な人員削減を実施。USAID の機能停止により、世界各地での支援が停止するなど、世界中に影響が広がっている。 本業務では、こうした米国における環境...

「まえがき」より 我々を取り巻く環境が変化していることは、もはや周知の事実である。異常気象・慢性的な気候変動・環境悪化は、今やますます業務運営に支障を生じさせ、より広範なシステム全体へのショックを引き起こしている。サプライチェーンの寸断から、資産の損傷・インフラへの衝撃・公衆衛生の危機・地域社会の崩壊に至るまで—多くの企業がすでにその影響を肌で感じている。そして、脅威はニュースの見出しを飾るような大災害だけにとどまらない。目立たず、じわじわと慢性的に進行する悪影響が、静かに企業価値を蝕んでいるのである。しかも、それらは多くの場合、既存のシステムでは予兆を検知することも、管理することも難しい形で進行していく。 （中略） ビジネスリーダーであるCEOには今こそ...

Many parts of India will require data-driven analysis of the climate, air quality, health, and employment co-benefits of key sectoral interventions as they decarbonize. This research offers such an analysis for agrivoltaics—an intervention that co-locates agriculture with solar energy production on the same parcel of land—in India’s Nagpur...

In a world that expects cities to fuel economic growth and attract millions of people every year, there's something unnerving about the phrase "shrinking cities."
