本論文は、制裁下のイランにおける再生可能エネルギー移行の障壁を政治経済学的に分析。化石燃料依存、制裁による国際金融・技術へのアクセス制限、国内補助金構造が脱炭素化を阻害し、気候変動脆弱性にもかかわらず再生可能エネルギー導入が進まない実態を明らかにする。
English
This paper uses a qualitative political economy approach to analyze how international sanctions constrain Iran's renewable energy transition. It finds that fossil fuel dependence, sanctions-induced isolation from global finance and technology, and domestic energy subsidies lock Iran into a carbon-intensive path, hindering solar and wind deployment despite high climate vulnerability.

日本のGX文脈において
イランの事例は、地政学的リスクがエネルギー移行に与える影響を示し、日本企業の中東投資やエネルギー安全保障政策に示唆を与える。直接的な日本関連性は低いが、制裁下の国での再生可能エネルギー導入課題は、国際的なGX協力の枠組み検討に資する。
In the global GX context
This study illuminates how geopolitical tensions and sanctions can derail renewable energy transitions, relevant for global discussions on energy security and climate finance. It underscores barriers to low-carbon investment in sanctioned economies, a concern for international climate policy.

🏛政策担当者:Highlights how sanctions can inadvertently obstruct climate goals, suggesting coordination between energy and foreign policy.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Iran's energy sector lies at the intersection of fossil fuel dependency, international sanctions, and delayed efforts toward renewable energy development. Despite possessing some of the world's largest reserves of oil and natural gas, Iran's energy transition is constrained by structural reliance on hydrocarbons, sanctions-induced isolation, and limited access to global finance and technology. This article employs a qualitative political economy approach, drawing on policy documents, secondary literature, and international energy data to examine how sanctions shape Iran's capacity to adopt renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, in light of its acute vulnerability to climate change. It argues that the geopolitical contestation surrounding Iran—its exclusion from global energy markets, the securitization of its nuclear program, and its strained relations with Western powers—hampers its ability to diversify energy sources and integrate into global low-carbon pathways. The study highlights how domestic priorities, such as energy subsidies and rent distribution, reinforce fossil dependency while undermining incentives for decarbonization. The paper concludes that Iran's energy future is locked between structural inertia and geopolitical constraints, where renewable aspirations remain secondary to survival strategies in a sanction-stricken environment.
