本稿は、気候訴訟が排出削減を促す手段から、気候対策の質や公平性を問う場へと進化したことを論じる。特に、労働者や地域社会が気候政策による不利益を訴える「ジャスト・トランジション訴訟」と、気候対策が生物多様性を損なうとして争う「グリーン対グリーン訴訟」を分析し、裁判所が脱炭素と社会的公平性、気候目標と保全の間でバランスを取る役割を担うと指摘する。複数の法域の事例から、こうした訴訟が気候行動を遅らせる一方で政策設計の改善を促すことを示す。

This article examines the evolution of climate litigation from a tool to compel action to a forum for contesting the quality and fairness of climate measures. It analyzes 'just transition' litigation, where workers and communities claim climate policies unjustly burden them, and 'green v. green' litigation, where climate actions are challenged for harming biodiversity. Using examples from multiple jurisdictions, it shows courts increasingly balance decarbonization against socio-economic equity and conservation. The analysis suggests such litigation can both delay climate action and improve policy design, shaping the legitimacy of the low-carbon transition.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、GX推進に伴う地域雇用や環境保全との摩擦が今後顕在化する可能性があり、本稿の分析は、日本の裁判所や政策立案者が脱炭素政策の正当性を確保する上で示唆に富む。特に、SSBJ開示や移行計画の策定において、社会的受容性や環境正義の考慮が重要になることを示唆する。
In the global GX context
Globally, as climate litigation shifts from pro-climate to contesting implementation, this article provides a framework for understanding emerging legal challenges. It highlights how courts are becoming arbiters of trade-offs between climate goals and other values, which is relevant for ISSB-aligned transition planning and corporate risk assessment. The analysis of just transition and green v. green cases offers insights for policymakers designing legitimate and sustainable climate policies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate litigation has evolved from a tool to spur climate action into a complex arena where the quality, fairness and direction of climate measures are contested. While early climate lawsuits often aimed to compel governments or corporations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or adapt to climate impacts, a growing share of cases now challenge how climate action is implemented. Two notable categories of climate litigation are discussed in this article. First, “just transition” litigation, which consist of cases brought by workers, communities or Indigenous groups who claim that climate policies or projects unjustly burden their rights or livelihoods. Second, “green v. green” litigation, in which climate mitigation or adaptation initiatives are challenged for harming biodiversity or other environmental values. This article situates these emerging categories of climate litigation in the broader landscape of climate-related disputes, distinguishing them from more straightforward “pro” or “anti” climate cases. Through examples from multiple jurisdictions, the article illustrates how courts are increasingly called upon to balance competing interests: decarbonization versus socio-economic equity in just transition cases, and climate goals versus conservation imperatives in green v. green cases. The analysis shows that such litigation can both delay climate action and drive improvements in policy design. It suggests that adjudicating these dilemmas is not only an exercise of aligning climate action with fundamental rights and environmental justice, but could also help shaping the legitimacy and sustainability of the low-carbon transition.
