本論文は、遺伝子組み換え（GM）作物が気候変動の緩和と適応に果たす役割を、国際気候変動適応法との関連から考察する。2020年までにGM技術により236億kgのCO2排出が防止されたこと、2025年には新たな育種技術が干ばつや塩害下で最大30%の収量増加をもたらすことを示す。一方、知的財産権と小規模農家の種子主権の対立など、社会法的障壁を指摘する。
English
This paper examines the dual role of genetically modified (GM) crops in climate change mitigation and adaptation, linking their implementation to international climate change adaptation law. It finds that by 2020, GM adoption prevented 23.6 billion kg of CO2 emissions, and by 2025, new genomic techniques could boost yields by up to 30% under drought and salinity. However, it identifies socio-legal impediments, particularly the conflict between intellectual property rights and seed sovereignty of smallholder farmers.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではGM作物の商業栽培が限定的であるが、気候変動適応策としてのバイオテクノロジー活用は今後の政策検討に示唆を与える。また、国際法と知財権のバランス論は、日本の農業政策や国際協力の枠組みにも関連する。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global GX discourse by linking agricultural biotechnology with climate law, highlighting how GM crops can serve as both mitigation and adaptation tools. The analysis of IPR and seed sovereignty adds a critical dimension to the debate on equitable climate solutions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in climate policy, agricultural biotechnology, and international law will find the interdisciplinary legal-empirical approach valuable.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in agriculture and climate change should note the dual mitigation-adaptation potential of GM crops and the need for equitable legal frameworks.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The escalating instability of global agricultural systems driven by greenhouse gas emissions necessitates the adoption of high-yield, climate-resilient crop varieties to safeguard international food security. This research investigates the function of Genetically Modified (GM) crops as a dual mechanism for climate change mitigation and adaptation, exploring the intrinsic connection between their implementation and the dynamic evolution of International Climate Change Adaptation Law. Employing a doctrinal legal methodology, the study assesses important international instruments such as the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement together with the latest empirical data on biotechnology efficacy. The results indicate that GM technology significantly contributes to mitigation; as of 2020, GM adoption prevented the emission of 23.6 billion kilograms of CO2, equivalent to removing 15.6 million cars from the road annually. Furthermore, by 2025, advancements in molecular breeding and New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) have demonstrated the ability to boost yields by up to 30% under severe abiotic stressors such as drought and salinity. However, the study identifies critical socio-legal impedimenta, particularly the conflict between Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) under the TRIPS Agreement and the Seed Sovereignty of smallholder farmers. The article finds that international law serves as the "regulatory scaffolding" for technological transfer; but, a more equitable legal framework is necessary to harmonise individual patent rights with the collective global necessity for a sustainable and equitable agricultural future.
