Commentary (Op. Ed)
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。

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...
