本論文は、地球システム科学が明らかにする動物による惑星代謝と景観動態の調節に基づき、自然を基盤とした解決策（NbS）の生命政治を分析する。「ガイアによる統治」という概念を導入し、動物を代謝的てことして展開することで地質学的プロセスを調整する統治様式を検討する。NbSを代謝政治の一形態として位置づけ、現状を維持するものと変革するものに区別する枠組みを提供する。環境地理学者への更なる研究を呼びかける。
English
This paper analyzes the biopolitics of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) informed by Earth system science revealing how animals regulate planetary metabolism. It introduces 'governing through Gaia' as a mode targeting the life-earth interface by deploying animals as metabolic levers. The analysis presents NbS as a distinct metabolic politics, distinguishing between maintenance and transformation of the status quo, and calls for further work by environmental geographers.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、NbSは「グリーンインフラ」や「生態系を活用した防災・減災（Eco-DRR）」として注目されるが、本論文はその根底にある生命政治を理論的に掘り下げており、日本の国土計画や生物多様性戦略の根幹を問い直す視点を提供する。ただし、直接的な政策連動性は低い。
In the global GX context
Globally, NbS are gaining traction in climate adaptation and biodiversity frameworks (e.g., UNFCCC, CBD). This paper offers a critical theoretical lens on the governance implications of deploying ecosystem engineers, challenging simplistic technical fixes. It enriches the discourse on just and adaptive NbS implementation, relevant for global climate and biodiversity policy debates.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:For GX researchers, this provides a critical framework to differentiate between transformative and status-quo maintaining NbS, useful for evaluating real-world projects.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should note the distinction between maintenance and transformation in NbS, which affects the design of climate and biodiversity policies.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Earth system science is revealing how animals regulate planetary metabolism and shape landscape dynamics, disclosing a range of ecosystem engineers and geomorphic agents. This science informs a subset of Nature-based solutions (NbSs) that aim to address the risks posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation. This article examines the biopolitics of NbS, introducing the concept of governing through Gaia to describe a mode of governance that targets the life–earth interface by deploying animals as metabolic levers to modulate geomorphic processes and geochemical cycles. It reviews a range of empirical examples and outlines the scientific framework underpinning NbS, introducing concepts from biogeomorphology, biogeochemistry, and the Gaia hypothesis. The analysis presents NbS as a distinct mode of metabolic politics that seeks to repair the metabolic shifts enacted by modern environmental management. It provides a framework to differentiate NbS by the types of repair that they perform, distinguishing between those that maintain and those that transform the status quo. The conclusions identify the potential of NbS and call for further work by a range of environmental geographers to develop just and adaptive approaches to governing through Gaia.
