小島嶼国（SIST）の気候政策における自然ベースのソリューション（NbS）の統合度を評価するスコアカードを開発。57のSISTを6指標（NbS包含、予算、コミュニティ参加、ジェンダー、便益、政策連携）で評価した結果、ドミニカが最高得点、6か国が0点。NbS関連活動への言及は89%あったが、「NbS」の明示的使用は19.6%にとどまった。

This study develops a replicable scorecard to evaluate the integration of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in climate policies of 57 small island states and territories (SISTs). Using six categories, it finds substantial variation: Dominica scores highest (13/20), while six score zero. Although 89% of policies reference NbS-related activities, only 19.6% explicitly use the term 'NbS'. The scorecard offers a model for assessing policy integration across sectors and scales.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は多くの小島嶼地域（沖縄、離島等）を抱え、気候適応策としてNbSの統合が重要。本スコアカードは日本の地域気候政策評価や、小島嶼国への技術協力にも活用可能。
In the global GX context
Small island states are on the front line of climate change. This scorecard provides the first comprehensive assessment of NbS integration across their climate policies, offering a replicable model for other regions and sectors. It highlights persistent gaps in budgeting and gender inclusion, informing future investment priorities.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a novel scorecard methodology for evaluating NbS integration in climate policy, with high inter-rater reliability and policy grouping analysis.
🏢実務担当者:Governments and NGOs can use this scorecard to assess and strengthen NbS integration in their own climate adaptation plans.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for explicit NbS terminology and cross-policy linkages in climate strategies, and identifies specific areas (budget, gender) requiring attention.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Small island states and territories (SISTs) face disproportionate climate risks, including sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and saltwater intrusion, yet adaptation strategies are constrained by geography, resources, and governance challenges. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) offer cost-effective, low-tech approaches that enhance resilience while delivering co-benefits for biodiversity and livelihoods. Despite their potential, NbS integration into SIST climate policies remains poorly understood. This research developed a replicable scorecard to evaluate NbS integration across 57 SIST. Undergoing iterative refinement and validation, the scorecard was based upon six categories: Inclusion of NbS; budget/economic considerations; community engagement; gender and social inclusion; anticipated benefits, and policy linkages. Policies were independently scored, with high inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.82). Results reveal substantial variation: Dominica scored highest (13 points out of a possible 20), while six SISTs scored zero. Budget/economic considerations and anticipated benefits were the highest scoring categories, whereas gender and social was the lowest scoring. Although 89% of policies referenced NbS-related activities, explicit use of the term “NbS” appeared in only 19.6% of policies. No significant upward trend in integration of NbS over time was observed. Classification and regression tree analysis identified three policy groupings based on emphasis rather than geography, highlighting gaps in budgeting and cross-policy linkages. The scorecard provides the first comprehensive assessment of NbS integration across SIST climate policies, offering opportunities for further research, practical insights for strengthening policy frameworks and informing future investment priorities. It provides a model for assessing policies across different sectors and at different scales, including continental contexts.
