チリのリチウム抽出を事例に、環境・経済・社会・文化の各側面が個別に評価される「断片的持続可能性」の限界を指摘。科学技術社会論（STS）に基づき、測定実践を政治的行為と捉え、統合的で多様な知識を取り入れた測定枠組みの必要性を提唱する。
English
Using Chile's lithium extraction as a case, this paper critiques 'fragmented sustainability' where environmental, economic, social, and cultural dimensions are assessed in isolation. Drawing on STS, it frames measurement as political acts and calls for integrated, pluralistic frameworks that incorporate diverse knowledges for just transitions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は電気自動車向けリチウム調達を国外に依存しており、本論文の持続可能性評価枠組みの議論は、サプライチェーン全体のガバナンスやESG評価に示唆を与える。ただし、日本の政策や産業への直接的な関連性は限定的。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a critical perspective on sustainability assessment of critical mineral extraction, relevant to global energy transition supply chains. It challenges fragmented ESG metrics and advocates for integrated, context-sensitive governance, which is increasingly important for responsible sourcing and disclosure frameworks like CSRD and ISSB.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides an STS-based critique of sustainability measurement in resource extraction, useful for scholars in energy transition, political ecology, and ESG research.
🏢実務担当者:Offers a framework to rethink sustainability indicators for mineral sourcing, but lacks concrete tools for corporate disclosure teams.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for integrated measurement in critical mineral governance, relevant for regulators designing sustainability reporting standards.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Lithium, a critical mineral for the global energy transition, has positioned Chile as one of the world’s leading producers through brine-based extraction. From this case, we identify a broader dynamic that we named “fragmented sustainability”, in which researchers and policymakers assess the lithium extraction through isolated environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. This fragmentation limits the capacity of sustainability science to address the complexity of critical mineral extraction. We argue for the need to move toward integrated sustainability as both a research and political challenge. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies (STS), we conceptualize measurement practices as political acts that not only describe but also participate in constructing socio-technical realities. From this perspective, advancing sustainability requires rethinking how extraction is measured and governed. We call for integrated measurement frameworks that connect environmental, economic, social and cultural indicators, while also incorporating diverse scientific, local, and ancestral knowledges. Such plural and situated approaches can transform sustainability from a fragmented ideal into a grounded practice, enabling more just and context-sensitive transitions in the governance of critical minerals.
