本論文は、二酸化炭素除去（CDR）技術の環境・社会影響評価において、社会科学の視点が不可欠であると主張する。環境指標や計測の政治性を論じ、先住民族の環境モニタリングや炭素市場などの事例から6つの教訓を導く。これらを踏まえ、CDRの研究・評価システムのための枠組みを提示する。
English
This paper argues that social science perspectives are essential for designing robust environmental monitoring and research frameworks for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Drawing on cases from carbon markets, Indigenous monitoring, biodiversity conservation, and others, it offers six lessons about the politics of measurement. The authors propose a framework for CDR practitioners to develop more responsible and just evaluation systems.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でもCCS/DACなどのCDR技術の実証が進む中、本論文は社会的受容性や先住民族のデータガバナンスの視点を提供する。計測の政治性を認識することは、SSBJ開示基準でも重要な示唆となる。
In the global GX context
This paper brings a critical social science lens to CDR measurement, which is often treated as purely technical. It informs global efforts on carbon accounting standards and just transition, relevant to ISSB and CSRD frameworks.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper challenges CDR researchers to incorporate social science insights into monitoring design.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams developing CDR projects can use this framework to anticipate social and governance risks.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should consider the political dimensions of carbon removal metrics and ensure inclusive governance.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Research on and early deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are rapidly expanding. Approaches such as direct air capture with geological storage, ocean alkalinity enhancement, and enhanced rock weathering aim to produce drawdown and long-term storage of atmospheric CO₂. Efforts increasingly prioritize evaluating environmental and social implications through research and monitoring, but the focus to date tends to overlook critical insights from social science scholarship. In this paper, we argue that social science perspectives are essential—not supplementary—to designing robust environmental research and monitoring frameworks for the emerging CDR sector. Drawing on scholarship examining environmental metrics, standards and classification systems, and the politics and performative power of measurement, we demonstrate that measurement is never merely technical but inherently shaped by values, power relations, scientific cultures, and epistemic choices—that is, decisions about what counts as valid and legitimate knowledge. We highlight six lessons for the field, drawing on cases from markets for carbon and ecosystem services, Indigenous environmental monitoring and data governance, biodiversity conservation, environmental hazards estimation, and international development, all domains where efforts to ‘measure’ have grappled with issues of standardization, justice, and unintended consequences. Drawing on these lessons, we outline a framework for carbon removal researchers and practitioners to reflect upon to design more robust, responsible, and just research and evaluation systems for the emerging field.
