本論文は、太平洋島嶼国における持続可能なインフラ開発への民間投資を促進するため、改訂版JCMとESG原則を統合した枠組みを提案する。従来の政府間クレジット配分を企業に変更することで、市場取引を通じた収益化を可能にし、ESG先進市場では企業価値向上の戦略的手段として機能する。このアプローチは、伝統的な援助依存モデルからの脱却と、企業利益と持続可能性目標の一致を実現する。
English
This paper proposes a framework integrating ESG principles with a revised Joint Credit Mechanism (JCM) to attract private investment in sustainable infrastructure in Pacific Island countries. By allocating carbon credits to Japanese companies instead of the government, corporations can monetize credits through market transactions, creating incentives. In ESG-advanced markets, credits serve strategic corporate value enhancement. The approach moves beyond donor-dependent models, aligning corporate interests with sustainability and emission reduction goals.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Developing countries in which infrastructure development is heavily dependent on overseas development aid face significant sustainability challenges, including financing gaps and inadequate maintenance. Increasing private-sector investment is crucial for addressing these challenges. This paper proposes an innovative framework linking environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles with a revised joint credit mechanism (JCM) to attract private investment in infrastructure development, particularly in Pacific Island countries facing the climate crisis. Under the revised JCM, by allocating generated carbon credits to participating Japanese companies, rather than the Japanese government, corporations can monetise credits through market transactions, creating compelling economic incentives for private-sector engagement. In ESG-advanced markets, credits serve as strategic instruments for corporate value enhancement beyond revenue generation, while corporations require continuous credit acquisition to sustain investor confidence. Our revised framework provides a sustainable solution to both financing gaps and infrastructure maintenance challenges. Our analysis demonstrates that integrating market dynamics and corporate incentives into bilateral climate mechanisms holds substantial potential for mobilising private capital for sustainable climate infrastructure finance. This approach represents a promising departure from traditional donor-dependent models, effectively aligning corporate interests with sustainable development objectives while advancing national emission reduction commitments.
