本レビューは、気候変動をグローバル化・権力・正義の観点から捉える新たな社会科学概念を整理する。空間的再想像、権力・歴史的不平等、分配を超えた正義、市場ベース解決策への批判、時間・地社会的枠組みの5つのクラスターを同定し、これらの概念が空間的非対称性の露呈、方法論的ナショナリズムへの挑戦、気候正義・変革に関する規範的議論を促進することを論じる。気候金融手段の理論化不足や非西洋的概念伝統の軽視を指摘し、今後の研究課題を提示する。

English

This review synthesizes new social science concepts that reframe climate change as a problem of globalization, power, and justice. It identifies five thematic clusters: spatial re-imaginings, power/historical inequality, justice beyond distribution, critiques of market-based solutions, and temporal/geo-social frames. The paper argues these concepts expose spatial asymmetries, challenge methodological nationalism, and open normative debates on climate justice, while calling for further research on climate finance instruments and non-Western traditions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

本レビューは、カーボンプライシングや公正な移行（just transition）といった概念を批判的に検討しており、日本が進める炭素税や排出量取引の制度的設計、公正な移行の議論に示唆を与える。また、気候金融や非西洋的視点の欠如を指摘する点は、日本の国際協力やグローバルサウスとの連携を考える上で重要である。

In the global GX context

This review provides a critical lens on concepts like carbon pricing and just transition that underpin global climate governance frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and ISSB standards. It highlights how these concepts embed power asymmetries and methodological nationalism, offering scholars and policymakers a deeper understanding of the normative assumptions behind climate policy tools. The call to integrate non-Western perspectives is particularly relevant for inclusive global disclosure and transition finance efforts.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Provides a comprehensive map of critical concepts for scholars studying climate justice, carbon pricing, and the politics of climate governance.

🏢実務担当者:Offers sustainability professionals a critical perspective on common terms like carbon offsets and just transition, informing more reflective communication and strategy.

🏛政策担当者:Encourages policymakers to consider the normative and justice implications of carbon pricing and market mechanisms, especially in the context of just transition and international equity.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Climate change represents a fundamental challenge to the conceptual apparatus of the social sciences. The phenomena of global warming carbon flows that ignore borders, supply chains that span continents and vulnerabilities that are unequally distributed – cannot be adequately captured by traditional vocabularies centered on the nation state, international cooperation, or technical mitigation. This review article synthesises the new conceptual vocabulary that has emerged in social science scholarship since the early 2000s, focusing on concepts that explicitly reframe climate change as a problem of globalisation, power, and justice. I identify five thematic clusters: (1) spatial re imaginings (planetary boundaries, anthroposphere, transnational governance); (2) power and historical inequality (carbon democracy, climate colonialism, ecological unequal exchange); (3) justice beyond distribution (loss and damage, just transition, slow violence); (4) critiques of market based solutions (carbon offsets, green growth/degrowth); and (5) temporal and geo social frames (Anthropocene vs. Capitalocene). The review argues that these concepts collectively perform three critical functions: they expose the spatial asymmetries embedded in globalisation, challenge methodological nationalism, and open normative debates about climate justice and transformation. The article concludes by identifying gaps notably the under theorisation of climate finance instruments and the marginalisation of non Western conceptual traditions and proposes a research agenda for the next generation of critical climate social science.
