英国の気候変動委員会は建物改修と生物多様性回復の重要性を認めるが、改修による建物外皮の密閉が空洞依存種（鳥類・コウモリ・昆虫）にリスクをもたらす。本レビューは改修と自然回復の統合レベルを評価し、人工生息地の保全ツールとしての有効性を検討。結果、生物多様性と改修のガバナンスは分離しており、既存住宅の改修には新築と同等の環境評価や報告義務が適用されないことを示した。英国では3000万戸の改修が予定され、生物多様性戦略への組み込みが急務である。

The UK Climate Change Committee recognizes building retrofit and biodiversity recovery as essential, but retrofit's hermetic sealing poses risks to cavity-dependent species. This review assesses integration of biodiversity in retrofit and artificial habitats' effectiveness. Findings show biodiversity and retrofit governance operate separately, with domestic retrofit exempt from Biodiversity Net Gain and reporting requirements. With 30 million homes to retrofit in the UK, integrating biodiversity into retrofit strategies is critical to avoid undermining decarbonization and nature recovery.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では既存住宅の断熱改修が進むが、生物多様性への影響は考慮されていない。本論文は、改修政策に環境アセスメントやモニタリングを組み込む必要性を示唆し、日本の住宅政策やSSBJ開示における生物多様性関連情報の重要性を高める。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper highlights a gap in climate policy: retrofit programs often overlook biodiversity impacts. It argues for integrating biodiversity net gain and monitoring into retrofit governance, aligning with ISSB and TNFD disclosure trends. The UK case offers lessons for other countries scaling up retrofit under climate commitments.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides evidence on the disconnect between retrofit and biodiversity governance, useful for studying policy integration.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights risks of retrofit to protected species and the need for biodiversity considerations in building projects.
🏛政策担当者:Suggests policy gaps in retrofit regulations regarding biodiversity, informing future environmental assessment requirements.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Peer-reviewed paper 1-047-26 The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) recognises that building retrofit and biodiversity recovery are essential to meeting the UK’s environmental commitments. However, retrofit practices pose an overlooked risk to cavity-dependent species of birds, bats and insects through the hermetic sealing of building envelopes. This research aims to discover the current level of integration between biodiversity within retrofit systems and assess the effectiveness of artificial habitats as conservation tools. This review establishes existing literature on the alignment between retrofit and nature recovery. The results revealed that biodiversity and retrofit governance currently operate separately. Significantly, permitted development rights apply to most domestic retrofit, this means that retrofit does not involve the same Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), environmental assessment or reporting and monitoring requirements that apply to new developments. These findings demonstrate the oversight of the cumulative impact of domestic retrofit to the environment. Additionally, there is a disconnect between empirical evidence and local plans that are integrating artificial habitats, meaning that adherence to maintenance and reporting regulation will be critical to avoid negative outcomes. With retrofit across 30 million homes imminent in the UK alone (under the Warm Homes Plan), ensuring that retrofit is accounted for in biodiversity strategies is crucial to reducing habitat pressures caused by urban expansion. If ignored we risk undermining current efforts towards decarbonisation and nature recovery and risk the displacement of legally protected cavity-dependent species. This review demonstrates the potential for existing buildings to contribute to both decarbonisation and nature recovery, supporting a climate-resilient built environment.
