本論文は、油ヤシ農園拡大に伴う環境被害と環境倫理を批判的に検討。技術的効率やバイオマス価値化だけでなく、土地権、手続き的正義、労働条件などの倫理的側面を含む統合的枠組みを提案。循環バイオ経済戦略と権利に基づくガバナンスの相互強化が持続可能性に不可欠と論じる。
English
This critical review examines environmental damage and ethics in oil palm expansion, arguing that sustainability assessments must combine ecological evidence (deforestation, biodiversity loss, pollution) with ethical issues (land rights, procedural justice, labor conditions). It proposes an integrated framework where no-deforestation, peat protection, rights-based governance, and bounded circular bioeconomy strategies are mutually reinforcing.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本はパーム油の大規模輸入国であり、サプライチェーンにおける森林破壊リスクや人権問題は、日本の持続可能性開示（SSBJやESG投資）において重要なテーマ。本論文の倫理・正義の枠組みは、日本の企業がサプライチェーン対応を考える上で参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper addresses the deforestation and social justice dimensions of palm oil, offering an ethical framework that complements technical decarbonization approaches. For global disclosure efforts (e.g., ISSB, CSRD, TNFD), it highlights the need to integrate biodiversity and human rights into sustainability assessments beyond carbon metrics.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a comprehensive ethical-ecological framework for evaluating palm oil sustainability beyond technical fixes.
🏢実務担当者:Can inform corporate sustainability teams on integrating land rights and justice into palm oil sourcing policies.
🏛政策担当者:Relevant for regulators designing deforestation-free supply chain regulations and mandatory human rights due diligence.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Oil palm is frequently defended on the grounds of exceptional land productivity, foreign-exchange earnings, and its growing role in food, oleochemical, and biofuel markets. Yet the same production system has become one of the most contested agro-industrial frontiers of the twenty-first century because plantation expansion, mill waste generation, peat conversion, and socio-spatial asymmetries can transfer large environmental costs to forests, soils, waterways, workers, and rural communities. Building on the attached review of oil palm biomass and integrating the recent literature extracted in file containing plain-text abstracts of newer publications, this article develops a critical review that centers environmental damage and environmental ethics rather than viewing palm oil only through the lens of technical efficiency or biomass valorization. The review argues that oil palm sustainability cannot be judged solely by yield per hectare, certification uptake, or downstream circular-economy initiatives. A more adequate assessment must combine ecological evidence on deforestation, biodiversity simplification, hydrological disruption, climate forcing, air pollution, and palm oil mill effluent with ethical questions of land rights, recognition, procedural justice, labor conditions, intergenerational responsibility, and the risk of burden shifting. The recent literature shows real progress in waste conversion, biochar, effluent treatment, industrial symbiosis, and low-carbon material substitution, but it also shows that technical mitigation is ethically incomplete when expansion reproduces unequal control over land, inadequate compensation, weak worker protection, or insufficient Free, Prior and Informed Consent. The article proposes an integrated framework in which no-deforestation production, peat protection, rights-based governance, transparent value distribution, and carefully bounded circular bioeconomy strategies are treated as mutually reinforcing rather than optional. Such a synthesis is necessary if oil palm landscapes are to move from extractive efficiency toward ecologically restorative and ethically legitimate sustainability. Keywords: oil palm plantations; environmental damage; environmental ethics; deforestation; biodiversity loss; palm oil waste; climate justice
