本研究では、ナイジェリアのエネルギー転換におけるマルチアクター間の調整が再生可能な成果に与える影響を評価するため、資源再生調整指標（RRCI）とマルチアクター資源再生システム枠組み（MARSF）を開発・検証した。42件のインタビューと372件の調査データを用いた因子分析により、指標の信頼性と妥当性が確認され、調整の各次元が環境再生、コミュニティの回復力、生態系の正当性を予測することが示された。実践的には、移行ガバナンスにおける最も弱い調整リンクを特定する監査可能な診断ツールを提供する。
English
This study develops and validates the Resource Regeneration Coordination Index (RRCI) and the Multi-Actor Resource Regeneration Systems Framework (MARSF) for assessing how multi-actor coordination shapes regenerative outcomes in Nigeria's energy transition. Using 42 interviews and 372 survey responses, factor analysis confirms reliability and validity, showing that coordination dimensions predict environmental regeneration, community resilience, and ecosystem legitimacy. The framework provides an auditable diagnostic for targeting interventions at weak coordination links in transition governance.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文はアフリカのエネルギー転換に焦点を当てるが、日本がGX推進において直面するステークホルダー間調整の課題にも示唆を与える。特に、脱炭素化と既存資産の活用を両立する「再生調整」の概念は、日本の産業転換や地域共生の文脈で応用可能である。
In the global GX context
While focused on Nigeria, this paper offers a novel framework for measuring coordination in energy transitions that is globally relevant. The RRCI can be adapted for assessing multi-actor alignment in other contexts, including Japan's GX initiatives, especially where legacy assets interact with new decarbonization projects. It contributes to the literature on transition governance and disclosure by introducing a quantifiable metric for coordination strength.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a validated index and framework for studying coordination in energy transitions, offering new constructs and measurement tools for empirical research.
🏢実務担当者:The RRCI can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify weak coordination links in transition projects, informing risk management and partnership strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can leverage the RRCI to design targeted interventions such as guarantees, covenants, and oversight mechanisms to strengthen transition governance.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study developed and tested a system-level account of sustainability coordination in Africa’s extractives-to-energy transition, addressing the absence of a validated construct that captures how multi-actor coordination shapes regenerative outcomes when legacy extractive assets simultaneously constrain and enable decarbonisation. We introduced the Resource Regeneration Coordination Index (RRCI) and the Multi-Actor Resource Regeneration Systems Framework (MARSF), theorising coordination strength as an emergent ecosystem property comprising inter-firm regenerative alignment, socio-environmental embedding, and cross-sectoral resilience integration. Using 42 semi-structured interviews across three Nigerian transition corridors to generate and refine measures, we then surveyed 372 ecosystem participants spanning operators, renewable developers, EPC firms, financiers, regulators, grid actors, and community-facing leaders. Confirmatory factor analysis supports reliability and convergent and discriminant validity for RRCI’s sub-dimensions, and a two-stage higher-order composite model yields consistent measurement performance. Structural estimation indicates that regenerative alignment predicts environmental regseneration, socio-environmental embedding predicts community resilience, and resilience integration predicts ecosystem legitimacy, with substantial explained variance across outcomes. Cross-validation assessment indicates out-of-sample utility, and multigroup comparisons across three ecosystem archetypes reveal context-contingent path strengths. Conceptually, we formalised a regenerative coordination paradox: extractive infrastructures become transition platforms only when alignment, embedding, and resilience routines cohere. In practice, RRCI provides an auditable diagnostic for targeting guarantees, contractual covenants, remediation oversight, and disclosure alignment at the weakest coordination links in transition governance.
