日本語

本稿は、クリーンエネルギー移行に伴う重要鉱物需要の増加に対し、深海採掘の可能性とESGリスクを検討する。深海採掘は再生可能エネルギー技術に必要な鉱物供給に寄与する一方、海洋生態系や生物多様性、炭素隔離、沿岸コミュニティへの悪影響が懸念される。国際海底機構の規制役割やガバナンスの不確実性を分析し、予防的かつ透明性の高いESG中心の規制枠組みの必要性を主張する。

English

This article examines deep-sea mining as a source of critical minerals for clean energy transition, weighing its potential against ESG risks. It highlights threats to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and coastal communities, and analyzes governance challenges including the role of the International Seabed Authority. The authors argue for a precautionary, transparent, and ESG-centered regulatory framework to balance mineral demand with ocean sustainability.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本は海洋国家であり、深海資源開発への関心が高い。本稿は、日本の深海採掘政策や関連企業のESG対応に示唆を与える。特に、国際海底機構との関係や、日本の資源調達戦略におけるESG考慮の重要性を考える上で参考になる。

In the global GX context

This paper contributes to the global discourse on deep-sea mining governance, which is relevant to the ISSB and other sustainability disclosure frameworks as companies face pressure to address biodiversity and social impacts. It underscores the need for robust ESG frameworks in emerging industries, aligning with global trends toward mandatory climate and nature-related disclosures.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Provides a conceptual framework linking deep-sea mining to ESG, useful for further empirical research on governance and sustainability.

🏢実務担当者:Highlights ESG risks that companies in the mining or renewable energy supply chain should consider in their due diligence and disclosure.

🏛政策担当者:Offers arguments for precautionary regulation and the role of international bodies, relevant for policymakers shaping deep-sea mining rules.

📄 Abstract（原文）

The global transition towards clean energy has significantly increased the demand for critical minerals, prompting growing interest in deep-sea mining as an alternative to terrestrial resource extraction. While deep-sea mining may contribute to securing essential minerals for renewable energy technologies, it also raises complex environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. This article examines deep-sea mining through the ESG framework, highlighting the potential risks to fragile marine ecosystems, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and coastal communities. It further analyses the governance challenges arising from regulatory uncertainty and the evolving role of the International Seabed Authority in managing seabed resources beyond national jurisdiction. The article argues that, despite its economic potential, deep-sea mining should be approached with caution until its long-term environmental and social consequences are better understood. A precautionary, transparent, and ESG-centred regulatory framework is essential to balance the growing demand for critical minerals with the imperative of protecting ocean sustainability.
