本論文は、拘束力を持ち期限付きの環境目標を法制化する「目標法」が、気候変動や生態系崩壊といったシステム的な環境課題に対処する上で、従来のリスク規制より効果的であると主張する。気候変動法やEUの自然再生法を事例に、目標法が短期的思考や周縁化を克服できる一方、時間性や法的地位、執行可能性などの複雑な課題ももたらすことを指摘する。
English
This paper argues that 'target laws'—legislation with binding, quantified environmental targets and deadlines—are more effective than traditional risk regulation for systemic challenges like climate breakdown. Using examples from climate legislation and the EU Nature Restoration Law, it shows how target laws overcome short-termism and marginalization, while acknowledging their complexities in temporality, legal status, and enforceability.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈では、2050年カーボンニュートラル目標や中間目標の法制化（GX推進法など）にも通じる議論。目標の法的位置づけや実効性担保の課題を考える上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX discourse by defending the use of legally binding environmental targets, a trend seen in the EU's Nature Restoration Law and national climate laws. It offers a framework for evaluating the dynamism and enforceability of target-based legislation, relevant to ISSB and transition finance frameworks that rely on credible policy signals.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Legal scholars and governance researchers can use the analysis of target laws' paradoxes and transformative potential.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers designing or implementing environmental target laws should consider the challenges around temporality and enforceability raised here.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract This article argues that an emerging body of ‘target laws’ – legislation that incorporates binding, quantified environmental targets with specified deadlines – represents a crucial evolution in environmental governance. Whereas traditional environmental risk regulation was valuable for managing discrete environmental impacts, it has proven inadequate to address systemic challenges like climate breakdown and ecosystem collapse. Target laws, by contrast, are better equipped to deliver the transformative change needed to respond to systemic threats. Drawing on examples from climate legislation and the European Union’s Nature Restoration Law, the analysis demonstrates how target laws can overcome environmental law’s persistent vulnerabilities to short-termism, marginalization, and public obscurity. However, targets are paradoxical entities that inject considerable complexity into legal frameworks, creating novel challenges around temporality, legal status, implementation, and enforceability. While acknowledging these formidable difficulties, the article contends that target laws merit vigorous defence as they offer environmental legislation unprecedented dynamism, resilience, and transformative potential.
