摘要

本文考察了日本气候变化相关政策的变化,重点关注可能显著改变日本气候变化决策的三个值得注意的事件:(a) 1997年12月主办《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)第三次缔约方会议(COP3)并通过《京都议定书》;(b) 2011年3月福岛第一核电站事故;(c) 2015年12月通过《巴黎协定》并于2016年11月初步实施。研究表明,日本政府的立场在这些事件中基本保持不变。它呼吁制定不会损害日本经济的减排目标,认为核电是减少二氧化碳排放成本最低的方式,并避免提及全球平均气温上升2°C作为长期目标。与此同时,2016年《巴黎协定》生效后,越来越多的日本私营企业和地方政府开始独立于国家政策,自愿采取行动减少各自的排放。次级/非国家行为体的这些变化已经开始改变国家政府层面的决策,可能是日本转型变革的标志,在日本,这些新行为体的声音比传统的以国家为基础的行为体对日本气候变化政策的影响更大。

Climate Change Policy: Can New Actors Affect Japan’s Policy-Making in the Paris Agreement Era?
This article examines changes in Japan’s policies related to climate change, focusing on three notable events that could have significantly altered Japan’s decisions on climate change: (a) the hosting of the Third Conference of the Parties (COP3) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in December 1997, (b) the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March 2011, and (c) the adoption of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 and its early enforcement in November 2016. The study shows that the Japanese government’s position remained fundamentally the same throughout these events. It called for emission reduction targets that would not harm the Japanese economy, considered nuclear power to be the least costly way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and avoided any mention of a 2°C mean global temperature rise as the long-term target. Meanwhile, after the Paris Agreement came into effect in 2016, an increasing number of Japanese private companies and local governments started taking voluntary actions to reduce their respective emissions, independent of national policy. These changes by sub/non-state actors have begun to alter decision-making at the national government level and could be a sign of transformational changes in Japan, wherein these new actors’ voices have a greater influence on Japan’s climate change policy than those of the traditional state-based actors.
