本研究は、1992年から2020年までの235カ国の森林炭素貯留量を分析し、地域により森林面積と炭素貯留の関係が大きく異なることを明らかにした。森林面積が3.83%減少したにもかかわらず炭素貯留量は0.95%減にとどまり、全体の弾力性はほぼ1に近い。閾値分析では、森林面積比率が7.66%を下回ると炭素弾力性が0.729に低下する臨界点が確認され、2010年のREDD+導入以降に構造変化が見られた。パリ協定目標達成には5～10倍の植林と80～90%の森林減少削減が必要と結論づけている。

This study analyzes forest carbon stocks in 235 countries from 1992-2020, revealing significant regional heterogeneity in forest-carbon relationships. Despite a 3.83% decline in forest area, carbon stocks decreased only 0.95%, with near-unitary elasticity. Threshold analysis identifies a critical break at 7.66% forest cover, below which carbon elasticity drops to 0.729. The findings highlight the need for differentiated mitigation strategies and massive reforestation scaling to meet Paris Agreement targets.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の森林炭素管理においても地域特性を考慮した戦略が重要であり、特に森林面積比率の閾値を考慮したアプローチは参考になる。またREDD+の効果検証は日本の国際協力にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides critical insights for global climate mitigation by quantifying the non-linear relationship between forest cover and carbon storage, informing REDD+ and Paris Agreement implementation strategies. The threshold analysis offers a framework for prioritizing reforestation efforts in regions with higher carbon elasticities.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Forest carbon stocks constitute a central component of global climate mitigation, although temporal–spatial heterogeneity in forest‐carbon relationships remains insufficiently understood. This study quantifies global forest‐carbon dynamics across 235 countries over 1992–2020 using comprehensive panel econometric methods. Global forest carbon stocks declined 0.95% (297 to 294 Gt C) despite 3.83% forest area losses, with forest‐carbon elasticity approximating unity. Regional elasticities range from 0.381 (Americas) to 2.984 (Euro Area). Threshold analysis identifies a critical discontinuity at 7.66% forest share, below which elasticity falls to 0.729, while above‐threshold countries achieve 1.165, a 60% increase. Temporal analysis reveals a 2010 structural break coinciding with REDD+ implementation. Current trajectories diverge from Paris Agreement requirements, necessitating 5–10× reforestation scaling and 80%–90% deforestation reduction. Policy implications emphasize differentiated strategies targeting high‐elasticity regions, protecting tropical forests, implementing threshold‐based interventions, and integrating forest mitigation with sustainable development objectives.
