本論文は、ネパールの森林火災が気候変動や人為的過失だけでなく、森林管理の経済的・制度的失敗に起因することを論じる。森林バイオマスの過少利用と可燃物の蓄積が火災を悪化させており、予防と抑制を長期的投資とみなす政策転換の必要性を主張する。
English
This paper argues that forest fires in Nepal are driven by economic and institutional failures in forest management, not just climate change and negligence. Underutilization of biomass and fuel accumulation lead to intense fires, and prevention should be viewed as a long-term investment aligned with climate policy.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、「森林資源の有効活用」と「気候変動適応」の観点から、ネパールの事例がバイオマス利用や森林管理の制度的課題を考える参考となる。特に、SSBJやカーボンクレジット制度との連動が期待される。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper contributes to the discourse on integrating forest fire management with climate policy and biomass utilization, which is relevant for countries facing similar trade-offs between conservation and economic incentives.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Forest economists and climate policy analysts can gain insights into the socio-economic drivers of fire occurrence and the design of incentive mechanisms.
🏢実務担当者:Forest managers and NGOs may find the biomass utilization and fire prevention co-benefits framework useful for project planning.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in fire-prone regions can draw lessons on aligning forest management with climate commitments and economic instruments.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change and human negligence are often cited as main drivers of forest fires in Nepal. However, this prospective argues that these factors are the result of underlying economic and institutional failures in forest management. Reduced interactions between forests and people, protection-oriented forest management practices, and weakened forest-agriculture interactions have led to underutilisation of forest biomass and the accumulation of combustible fuel. Consequently, recurrent and intense forest fires have emerged as negative externalities, where social costs exceed private benefits. Although they have caused significant economic, environmental, and health costs, the prevention and suppression of forest fires are not viewed as co-benefits of forest management. Hence, aligning forest fire management with biomass utilisation, incentive mechanisms, and climate policy commitments can help convert fire prevention into a long-term investment for sustainable forest management in Nepal.
