日本のGX文脈において
日本ではZEH/ZEBや省エネ基準の強化が進むが、建築のライフサイクル全体での排出削減はSSBJのスコープ3にも関連する。本稿は政策と設計実務の連携を促す示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, building emissions are central to climate frameworks like the Paris Agreement. This paper provides a broad overview of architecture's mitigation potential, relevant for practitioners and policymakers developing net-zero building codes.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Global warming and climate change have progressively deepened their impact on the environment thus positioning the built environment at the center of sustainability discourse. Architecture plays a dual role in this context: it is both a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and a critical instrument for climate mitigation and adaptation. The building and construction industry is a major driver of climate change, accounting for a substantial proportion of global energy consumption, material extraction, and carbon emissions, largely through operational energy use, embodied carbon in construction materials, and unsustainable urban development patterns. This paper critically examines the role of architecture in driving climate change while simultaneously exploring its potential to mitigate environmental degradation through climate-responsive design, technological innovation, and policy intervention. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature, global climate frameworks, and selected international case studies, the study evaluates how architectural decisions influence environmental performance across the building life cycle. The paper argues that architecture must transition from a predominantly extractive and energy-intensive practice to a regenerative and climate-positive discipline. It concludes by proposing a transformative framework for architectural practice that integrates environmental ethics, low-carbon technologies, and climate governance to support global climate goals.
