本稿は、中国が環境影響評価（EIA）に気候変動を統合するための炭素排出EIA（CEIA）のパイロット政策と実践を分析する。鉄鋼や火力発電などの高排出セクターを対象に、炭素評価を既存の承認手続きに組み込む枠組みを検討。しかし、適応評価の欠如、非二酸化炭素ガスの限定的な対象、地域目標との弱い連携などの限界が指摘され、実効性には法的強化が必要と結論づける。
English
This paper analyzes China's pilot policy of integrating climate change into Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) through carbon emission EIAs (CEIAs), targeting high-emission sectors like steel and thermal power. It finds that while national guidelines and local standards mandate carbon footprint assessment and mitigation measures, significant limitations exist: lack of adaptation assessment, limited coverage of non-CO2 gases, weak linkage to binding regional targets, and inconsistent implementation. The effectiveness of this model as a climate governance tool requires stronger legal mandates and better integration.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の環境影響評価制度においても、気候変動への対応が求められている。本稿は中国の試行政策を詳細に分析しており、日本がEIAに気候変動を統合する際の参考となる。特に、法的強制力と実施の質の確保は共通の課題である。
In the global GX context
China's pilot CEIA policy represents a significant attempt to embed climate considerations into project-level approval, a trend also seen in the EU and other jurisdictions. This empirical study provides insights on the design and limitations of such integration, relevant for global climate governance reform, including the potential for ISSB and transition finance frameworks to link with national EIA systems.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a detailed case study of China's climate-EIA integration, useful for comparative policy research.
🏛政策担当者:Offers lessons for designing effective climate assessment within EIA frameworks, highlighting legal and procedural gaps.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract This article examines China’s policy-driven approach to integrating climate change into its environmental impact assessment (EIA) framework through carbon emission EIAs (CEIAs). Led by China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment, a pilot framework targets high-emission sectors like steel and thermal power, embedding carbon assessment within existing project approval procedures. The analysis highlights the development of national technical guidelines and localized standards that mandate assessing the carbon footprint of projects, mitigation measures, and consistency with regional ‘dual-carbon’ policies. However, significant limitations persist. CEIA functions primarily as a reporting tool focused on greenhouse gases (GHGs), with minimal inclusion of adaptation assessment, limited non-carbon dioxide gas coverage, and weak linkages to binding regional targets. Empirical evidence reveals inconsistent implementation, variable reporting quality, and procedural compliance over substantial reductions. Ultimately, the effectiveness of China’s integrative model as a climate governance instrument depends on stronger legal mandates, clearer reduction requirements, more comprehensive GHG coverage, and better integration with broader climate governance mechanisms.
