本研究は、香港を対象に、2030年の5つの土地利用シナリオ下で炭素貯留、道路による撹乱、気候リスクのトレードオフを地理空間分析で評価した。極端な都市拡大は気候緩和便益を大幅に減少させるが、計画的な開発では損失は中程度で、NbSの実施により緩和可能である。Mai Po、Chek Lap Kok、Sai Kungなどの地域でNbSの機会が特定され、気候・自然政策と都市化の優先事項を橋渡しするエビデンス基盤を提供する。
English
This study uses geospatial analysis to evaluate trade-offs among carbon storage, road disturbance, and climate risk under five land use scenarios for 2030 in Hong Kong. Extreme urban expansion drastically reduces climate mitigation benefits, while planned development shows moderate losses that can be mitigated by nature-based solutions (NbS). Key areas like Mai Po, Chek Lap Kok, and Sai Kung are identified for NbS opportunities, providing an evidence base for integrating climate and nature policies with urbanization priorities.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の都市計画や国土利用政策において、気候変動適応と生物多様性保全を統合するNbSの考え方は、国土強靱化やグリーンインフラ推進に示唆を与える。特に、都市部の緑地や水辺の保全・再生を進める際の評価手法として参考になる。
In the global GX context
This study contributes to global NbS scholarship by demonstrating a geospatial approach to quantify synergies and trade-offs between climate mitigation, biodiversity, and urban development. It offers a replicable framework for cities worldwide to align climate and nature policy agendas, relevant to international frameworks like the Paris Agreement and the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Urban areas face challenges in jointly addressing the global climate change and nature loss crises amidst the pursuit of socioeconomic development agendas. These trade-offs prompt the need to explore solutions for sustainable environmental and societal futures that balance diverse priorities. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are one such approach that can provide synergistic benefits for climate, nature, and society. This study employs geospatial approaches to mapping and identifying such benefits and trade-offs, serving as a foundation to guide further assessment and planning. Using Hong Kong as a case study, we model the carbon storage, road-based disturbance, and climate risk trade-offs under five land use change scenarios for 2030. The results demonstrate the stark losses in climate mitigation benefits when urban areas are expanded at extreme scales, but only moderate losses under current planned development schemes that may be mitigated by the implementation of NbS. Several key areas in Hong Kong are identified where these benefits are maximised, namely Mai Po, Chek Lap Kok, and Sai Kung. NbS opportunities can be further explored in those areas to enhance natural carbon stores, reshape built infrastructure for nature connectivity, mitigate coastal flood risks, among other benefits. The results provides an evidence foundation for implementing NbS to bridge climate and nature policy agendas with competing urbanisation priorities in Hong Kong and other urban areas globally.
