この論文は、生物多様性と気候変動対策の中心である自然を基盤とするカーボンオフセットの永続性リスクを分析。物理的、非物理的、方法論的リスクの3ドメインからなる類型を提示し、現行のオフセット制度の構造的不整合を指摘する。効果的なリスク管理と適応的ガバナンスの必要性を強調。
English
This paper analyzes permanence risks to biodiversity and nature-based carbon offsets, which are central to addressing biodiversity loss and climate change. It develops a typology across three domains: non-physical risks (e.g., weak governance), physical risks (e.g., fire, storms), and methodological risks (e.g., oversimplified metrics). The study highlights a structural misalignment between ecological permanence and current safeguards, calling for robust risk management and adaptive governance to ensure credible, enduring offsets.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、カーボンオフセット市場の拡大とJ-クレジット制度の信頼性確保が急務。本論文のリスク類型は、日本のオフセット制度設計や企業のカーボン・クレジット調達戦略に示唆を与える。特に非物理的リスク（ガバナンス、データ透明性）の指摘は、日本の制度運用において重要。
In the global GX context
Globally, the credibility of nature-based carbon offsets is under scrutiny, particularly with the growth of voluntary carbon markets and their integration into corporate net-zero targets. This paper provides a systematic framework for assessing permanence risks that can inform risk management practices and regulatory design for carbon offset schemes, aligning with ISSB and TNFD disclosure expectations.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in carbon accounting and biodiversity offsetting can use the typology as a framework for further empirical and theoretical studies on permanence and governance.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams evaluating nature-based offsets for carbon neutrality claims can apply the risk typology to improve due diligence and offset program selection.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators and standard-setters designing offset programs (e.g., J-credit scheme, Article 6 implementations) should consider the identified structural misalignments to enhance permanence safeguards.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Biodiversity and nature‐based carbon offsets are central to strategies addressing biodiversity loss and climate change. Their credibility depends on permanence—the expectation that biodiversity gains or sequestered carbon persist at least as long as the impacts they compensate for, or in perpetuity. Yet ecosystems are dynamic and increasingly exposed to disturbance, making perpetual outcomes difficult to guarantee. Despite this, many offset programs rely on fixed durations and static assumptions ill‐suited to managing long‐term risks, creating a structural misalignment between ecological permanence and the safeguards intended to secure it. To assess this misalignment, we reviewed three decades of literature to identify risks to long‐term durability and strategies for managing them. We developed a typology spanning three domains. Non‐physical risks, such as weak governance and limited data transparency, were most frequently reported, often co‐occurred, and enabled other failures. Physical risks such as fire, storms, or flooding cause material damage and are intensifying with climate change. Methodological risks, including oversimplified metrics and flawed design, expose structural weaknesses in offset systems. Our typology provides a framework for assessing permanence risks and strengthening offset governance. Credible, enduring offsets are achievable, provided robust risk management and adaptive governance are aligned with ecological realities.
