本レビューは、ブルーカーボンガバナンスに関する国連システムの枠組みを包括的に分析し、UNFCCC、CBD、ラムサール条約、SDGs、仙台防災枠組みとの政策連携を検討。4つの構造的ボトルネック（概念・会計の不一致、条約間の相乗効果不足、CBDR原則の実施不足、資金・能力ギャップ）を特定し、3つの改革提言（最小限の一貫性基準パッケージ、国家統合ブルーカーボン政策パッケージ、CBDRの具体化）を提示。
English
This policy review provides a comprehensive overview of global blue carbon governance under the United Nations system, examining interfaces with UNFCCC, CBD, Ramsar Convention, SDGs, and Sendai Framework. It identifies four structural bottlenecks: conceptual and accounting discrepancies, insufficient cross-convention synergy, inadequate implementation of CBDR, and funding gaps. Three recommendations are proposed: minimum consistency standards, nationally integrated blue carbon policy packages, and mandatory funding and technology transfer.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は藍藻類や海草藻場などのブルーカーボン生態系の保全に取り組んでおり、本レビューの提言は日本のNDCや生物多様性国家戦略との整合性を高める上で示唆に富む。特に、SSBJの開示基準とブルーカーボンクレジットの会計処理の連動が今後の課題となる。
In the global GX context
This review is globally relevant as blue carbon increasingly features in national climate commitments (NDCs) and emerging carbon markets. Its call for cross-convention synergy and standardized accounting directly addresses fragmentation that hinders corporate and government adoption of blue carbon projects. The CBDR-focused recommendation highlights equity challenges for developing nations.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Useful for scholars studying international environmental governance and climate policy integration.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams exploring blue carbon credits should note the accounting and governance risks identified.
🏛政策担当者:Directly relevant for environment ministry officials involved in NDC revision and biodiversity strategy.
📄 Abstract（原文）
As a potentially important component of natural climate solutions, blue carbon is increasingly bridging climate change mitigation and adaptation with biodiversity conservation. This Policy and Practice Review provides comprehensive coverage and a balanced overview of the global blue carbon governance landscape, focusing on the United Nations system. The analysis systematically examines the policy interfaces and coupling mechanisms between blue carbon governance and five key international instruments: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs), and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Based on this assessment, this review identifies four structural bottlenecks hindering effective UN-led governance: (1) conceptual and accounting discrepancies between “coastal blue carbon” and emerging “broad-sense blue carbon” definitions; (2) insufficient cross-convention synergy, leading to fragmented regulations and high transaction costs; (3) inadequate implementation of the Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) principle, particularly for coastal developing countries and small island nations; and (4) persistent funding and capacity gaps throughout the entire lifecycle of blue carbon projects. In response, this review proposes three actionable recommendations for institutional reform: (1) establishing a “minimum consistency standards package” with cross-institution mutual recognition within the UN system; (2) developing “nationally integrated blue carbon policy packages” aligned with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), Ramsar designations, and national disaster reduction strategies; and (3) implementing the CBDR principle through concrete pathways for mandatory funding and technology transfer
