タイのマングローブ保全による炭素クレジット制度（T-VER）において、地域コミュニティの参加が不公平になる5つの障壁を、18件のインタビューから特定。政策の不明確さ、利益配分の不公平、オフセットへの見解の相違、知識・能力不足、検証コストの高さが相互に強化し合い、分配的・手続的・認識的不正義を生むと論じる。
English
This study identifies five barriers to fair community participation in Thailand's mangrove carbon credit program (T-VER) through 18 interviews. It argues that unclear policies, unfair benefit-sharing, divergent views, capacity gaps, and high verification costs are mutually reinforcing, producing distributive, procedural, and recognitional injustices. State mediation can concentrate power unless formal rights and accountability mechanisms are established.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではJ-クレジット制度やブルーカーボン生態系の活用が進む中、地域コミュニティの参加と利益配分の公正性は重要な論点。本論文の知見は、日本の沿岸域管理やカーボンクレジット制度設計に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
As global carbon markets expand, ensuring equitable community participation in nature-based solutions is critical. This study provides empirical evidence from Thailand that informs international standards and best practices for carbon credit projects, particularly in countries with state-controlled forest land.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Thailand has announced ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a programme that allows private companies to earn carbon credits from protecting and restoring mangroves. In 2023, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) began enrolling local communities and private firms in this scheme. We examine whether communities can participate fairly, drawing on 18 semi‐structured interviews with government officials, NGOs, community leaders and private sector actors. We identify five barriers: unclear policies that leave communities uncertain about their rights; benefit‐sharing arrangements widely perceived as unfair; divergent views among communities and NGOs about carbon offsetting; knowledge and capacity gaps that limit meaningful engagement; and prohibitive verification and implementation costs. We argue that these barriers are not discrete problems but mutually reinforcing features of T‐VER's governance architecture, producing distributive, procedural and recognitional injustices that constrain participation. State mediation does not necessarily protect communities. Without formal rights, independent accountability mechanisms and accessible verification pathways, it can instead concentrate power in the hands of state and corporate actors. Thailand's experience raises important concerns for other countries where forest land remains under state control. We conclude with recommendations for reform that could make community participation more equitable and projects more durable.
