国連環境計画（UNEP）が発表した「Emissions Gap Report 2023: Broken Record –Temperatures hit new highs, yet world fails to cut emissions (again) - Executive Summary」の日本語翻訳版（暫定非公式訳）。誓約された温室効果ガス排出削減量とパリ協定の長期気温目標に整合するために必要な削減量との間のギャップ、およびこのギャップを埋める機会について独立した科学に基づく評価を提供している。国連気候変動枠組条約第28回締約国会議（COP28）に先駆けて発行された本版では、グローバル・ストックテイクの最終的な議論に最適な知見を提供するとともに...
Discussion Paper
India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend on subnational governments. This paper argues India’s subnational governments have significant potential to capitalise on diverse natural resource...

German-Japan Energy Transition Comission, The Second Young Scientists Dialogue
This research aims to develop a framework to explore scenarios which are compatible with the global 1.5°C climate target. This entails explorations of socio-economic scenarios, as well as technological assumptions on energy systems, which can be supported by stakeholders at the same time satisfying an emission benchmark. First, we set up three...
Conference Paper
本分析では、日本を対象に、産業連関表等を用いてエネルギーサービス需要の変化を明示的に表現したうえでエネルギー需給を定量化し、シナリオ分析を行った。その結果、エネルギー供給側と需要側の対策を同時に進めることだけではなく、デジタル技術の活用やビジネスモデルの変化により労働生産性、資源生産性、暮らしの質を高めることで、日本の累積GHG排出量を1.5℃目標達成に資する水準に抑えた脱炭素社会を達成できる道筋を示した。

Technical Report
This report examines the feasibility of Japan not only achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, but also making significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so as to make its cumulative emissions as small as possible, thereby contributing to the global goal of limiting the average temperature increase to below 1.5°C compared to the pre...
Technical Report
本レポートは、世界平均気温の上昇を産業革命前と比べて１.5℃以内に抑えるという目標の達成に向けて、2050年までにカーボンニュートラルを実現するだけではなく、累積排出量をできる限り小さくする観点から、日本国内で早期に大幅な温室効果ガス（GHG）排出量削減を果たす可能性を検討し、その実現のためのアクションプランをまとめたものである。 2024年4月2日更新 謝辞の追記、出典の追記、誤記の修正を行いました。 企業の方向けに使いやすく再構成した「 1.5℃ロードマップ - 脱炭素でチャンスをつかむ。未来をつくる。」もご活用ください。
Book Chapter
In Hydrogen in Decarbonization Strategies in Asia and the Pacific
This chapter explores the interest in hydrogen adoption across Asian countries for achieving net-zero goals, with a particular focus on Japan's prominent role. While Japan has taken strides in hydrogen initiatives, the extent to which its strategy aligns with ambitious climate targets remains uncertain. The chapter emphasises the importance of...

Commentary (Op. Ed)
2023年9月8日、パリ協定第1回グローバル・ストックテイク（GST）の技術的フェーズの成果の集大成である統合報告書が国連気候変動枠組条約事務局より発表された。統合報告書とは、2021年末からこれまで約2年をかけて実施された、17万ページを超える情報インプットの分析及び3回の技術的対話の結果を17個のキー・ファインディング（主要な結果）に凝縮、まとめたものである。中でも、政府のみならず、企業、自治体、NGO、大学等の様々な主体（以下、非政府主体）の重要性にも焦点が当てられたことは注目すべき点である。本稿では、今後期待される非政府主体の役割りについてコメントを述べる。

ADBI Working Paper Series
Japan has adopted several policies that signal its intent to rely on hydrogen to achieve net-zero climate goals. However, many of those same policies are unclear about its support for a transition to green hydrogen. Relying on gray and blue hydrogen without a transition to green hydrogen will harm the climate. It will also result in several other...
