日本のGX文脈において
日本では、森林吸収源対策や生物多様性保全がGX政策の一部として注目される中、インドの法体系と実行上の課題は、日本の森林ガバナンスや国際協力の観点で参考になる。特に、地域コミュニティの権利と森林保護のバランスは、日本の森林政策にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a comparative perspective for global forest-climate policy, highlighting the interplay between legal frameworks and community rights in India. It is relevant for countries facing similar challenges in balancing development, conservation, and climate goals. The analysis of judicial interventions and enforcement gaps provides insights for strengthening forest governance in the context of REDD+ and other international mechanisms.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Forest policy and climate law researchers can gain insights into India's evolving legal framework and its effectiveness in climate mitigation.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can learn from India's experience in integrating forest conservation into climate policy, especially regarding community rights and enforcement challenges.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Forests play a crucial role in alleviating climate change through mechanisms such as carbon sequestration, the preservation of biodiversity, and the regulation of ecological systems. In India, a diverse forest landscape is governed by a comprehensive legal framework that encompasses the Indian Forest Act of 1927, the Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980, the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986, and the Forest Rights Act of 2006. This paper offers a critical examination of the evolution and efficacy of these laws in addressing climate change by managing deforestation, promoting afforestation, and enabling sustainable forest management. Furthermore, it explores judicial interventions, policy developments, and notable challenges, including developmental pressures, legal ambiguities, and implementation gaps. While India has made considerable progress in forest conservation, challenges remain concerning enforcement, community rights, and recent policy changes. The study concludes that it is essential to reinforce institutional frameworks, synchronize climate policies with forest governance, and enhance community participation to improve the effectiveness of forest legislation in climate mitigation.
