本論文は、マングローブ等のブルーカーボン生態系の保護が国際法上、国家の監視・報告・検証（MRV）義務に依存する「認識の条件性」を論じる。UNCLOS第192条等が気候条約とは独立したMRV義務を課すとし、BBNJ協定がその枠組みを現代化すると主張。検証能力の不均衡が共通だが差異ある責任を逆転させると指摘し、条約解釈の再構築を提案する。
English
This paper theorizes the legal basis for protecting blue carbon ecosystems under international law, arguing that monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) is a binding obligation under UNCLOS Articles 192, 194, and 204-206, independent of climate treaties. It introduces 'epistemic conditionality,' showing how uneven verification capacity inverts common but differentiated responsibilities. The BBNJ Agreement modernizes this framework, and the paper proposes doctrinal reconstructions including surveillance duties and admissibility of algorithmic evidence.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は海洋国家としてブルーカーボン生態系の保全とMRV体制構築が課題。本論文は、SSBJや有報での気候関連開示とは別に、海洋法上の義務としてのMRVを位置づけ、日本の沿岸管理やブルーカーボンクレジット制度に法的根拠を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper bridges climate disclosure (MRV) with ocean law, relevant to ISSB and TNFD frameworks that increasingly include nature and blue carbon. It clarifies that MRV obligations extend beyond climate treaties, impacting state and corporate reporting duties. The analysis of epistemic conditionality offers a critical lens for global equity in climate finance and capacity building.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a novel legal theory linking MRV to due diligence in ocean law, useful for scholars of climate law and governance.
🏢実務担当者:Highlights legal risks and obligations for companies involved in blue carbon projects, emphasizing robust MRV systems.
🏛政策担当者:Informs national policy on blue carbon protection, suggesting that MRV is a legal duty under UNCLOS, not just a climate tool.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Blue carbon ecosystems, comprising mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows, are increasingly enrolled in State climate strategies, yet the legal basis of their protection under international law remains insufficiently theorized. Blue carbon protection has become an evidentiary problem before it is a substantive one: international law now protects these ecosystems principally by obliging States to know their condition, so that protection is conditional upon a State’s capacity to generate legally cognizable proof, a relationship termed here the epistemic conditionality of blue carbon protection. Combining treaty interpretation under Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention, analysis of recent jurisprudence, and comparative normative mapping across three regimes, the article advances three claims. First, monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) is not merely a climate policy technique derived from Article 13 of the Paris Agreement but, following the 2024 and 2025 advisory opinions of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the International Court of Justice, is the operational content of binding obligations under Articles 192, 194 and 204 to 206 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which are not discharged by compliance with the climate treaties. Second, the BBNJ Agreement, in force since 17 January 2026, modernizes that architecture and, through Article 28(2), reaches activities within national jurisdiction. Third, because verification capacity is unevenly distributed, epistemic conditionality inverts common but differentiated responsibilities, transferring protective benefit towards States able to afford proof. It proposes a doctrinal reconstruction: Article 204(2) as a continuing surveillance duty; Article 205 publication as distinct from transparency reporting; capacity building under UNCLOS Part XIV and BBNJ Part V as a corollary of the duty to know; and admissibility criteria for algorithmically derived earth observation evidence, by extension of the Pulp Mills line.
