西部米国では、気候変動による水供給の減少と需要の増加が深刻化しており、大規模排出企業（カーボンメジャーズ）の寄与を定量化した。その結果、気候変動による水資源への影響の約半分がカーボンメジャーズに起因し、地下水減少の約3分の1を占めることが示された。簡便な比例アプローチとの比較も行い、その精度に注意が必要と結論づけた。
English
This study quantifies the contribution of Carbon Majors to water resource changes in the western US, attributing roughly half of climate-driven supply decreases and demand increases to these entities, and about one-third of observed groundwater loss in the Central Valley. It also compares results with a simpler proportional approach, highlighting potential biases.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では水リスクは企業の気候関連開示（TCFD/SSBJ）で重要な項目であり、サプライチェーン全体での水使用量の把握が求められる。本論文は排出者責任の定量化手法を提供し、日本の企業や金融機関が水リスク評価を行う際の参考となる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this research strengthens the case for holding major emitters accountable for climate impacts, informing climate litigation and transition risk assessments. It provides a methodology for attributing regional climate impacts to specific entities, relevant for ISSB and CSRD disclosure frameworks that require climate risk assessment.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract In the western US, limited water supply and high demand--accentuated by anthropogenic climate change--have resulted in overallocated water resources and rapidly depleting groundwater. Simultaneously, legal and policy mechanisms are being pursued regarding the contributions of large emitting entities (“Carbon Majors”) to such impacts. Here, we quantify impacts on western US water resources attributable to the Carbon Majors, and compare results with a simpler-to-use (‘proportional’) approach. Anthropogenic climate change has driven large decreases in water supply (snowpack and streamflow) and increases in water demand (irrigation demand), with roughly half attributable to the Carbon Majors. These changes have led to a widening seasonal gap between water supply and demand, and with Carbon Majors emissions accounting for ~1/3 of observed, climatically-driven groundwater loss in the Central Valley during 2003-2024. Though both approaches yield similar results, consistent over- and underestimations are present in each variable, suggesting caution is needed when using the proportional approach.
