本研究は、APECが都市のエネルギー移行に与える影響を、中国・日本・シンガポールの比較分析を通じて評価する。定性的な制度分析とSSP5シナリオを用いた定量的評価を組み合わせ、APECは主にソフトなガバナンス（政策調整、知識普及、技術協力）を通じて影響を及ぼすことを示す。各国の制度構成により実装経路は異なり、中国は中央集権型、日本は分散型のスマートエネルギー、シンガポールはデータ駆動型の持続可能性フレームワークを採用する。SSP5の下では、3経済すべてで経済成長と炭素排出の構造的結合が持続する。

This study evaluates APEC's influence on urban energy transitions through a comparative analysis of China, Japan, and Singapore. Combining qualitative institutional analysis with quantitative assessment using SSP5 scenarios, it finds APEC operates mainly through soft governance mechanisms. Implementation pathways diverge: China uses centralized state-led clean energy urbanization, Japan advances decentralized smart energy systems, and Singapore applies an integrated data-driven sustainability framework. Under SSP5, structural coupling between economic growth and carbon emissions persists in all three economies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study evaluates the role of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in shaping urban energy transitions through a comparative analysis of China, Japan, and Singapore. Although regional cooperation has become an important complement to global climate governance, empirical evidence of APEC's substantive influence on urban decarbonization remains limited. The research integrates qualitative institutional analysis with quantitative assessment using a panel dataset and the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways framework, employing Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 5 (SSP5) to examine environmental trajectories under fossil-fuel-intensive growth conditions. The findings show that APEC operates primarily through soft governance mechanisms policy coordination, knowledge diffusion, and technical cooperation rather than binding regulatory instruments. Its influence appears in the strategic alignment of national and municipal energy policies with regional low-carbon frameworks, though implementation pathways diverge according to domestic institutional configurations. China adopts a centralized, state-led model of clean energy urbanization; Japan advances technologically driven smart energy systems within a decentralized governance structure; and Singapore applies an integrated, data-driven sustainability framework emphasizing regulatory coherence and performance benchmarking. Scenario results under SSP5 reveal persistent structural coupling between economic growth and carbon emissions across all three economies. China's economic scale generates substantial emissions from coal- and oil-intensive sectors, while Japan's continued reliance on fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas constrains deeper decoupling despite lower energy intensity and Singapore's CO₂ emissions, strong dependence on imported fossil fuels, making its carbon footprint largely embedded in regional supply chains.
