本研究は、地方自治体における国際環境協力の実施に影響を及ぼす要因を明確にすることを目的とする。とりわけ、政治的要因、行政余力などの行政的要因および地域間の波及要因が環境協力の実施や関連予算額の決定に対して影響を与えるのか、計量分析により検討する。計量分析の結果、革新知事、職員数に占める環境関連職員の割合や地域間の波及要因が環境協力実施に影響を及ぼすこと、また、職員数に占める環境関連職員の割合が、環境協力予算額の決定に影響を及ぼすことが確認された。

政府のエネルギー・環境会議が9月14日に決定した革新的エネルギー・環境戦略（以下「エネ環戦略」という)について、長期的な低炭素社会および資源循環型社会の実現の観点から政府試算の前提条件のうち3つの想定に関し再検討を行い、2030年における追加的な節エネ・温室効果ガス（GHG）排出削減の可能性について独自に検証した。その結果、一次エネルギー消費に関しては、「エネ環戦略」想定に比べ2.5%以上追加的に節約できることが示唆された。GHG排出に関しては、「エネ環戦略」において「2013 年から 2020 年まで1990年比で年間3.5 ％分の森林吸収量の確保を目指す」とあることも考慮すると、国内努力のみで2030年に1990年比マイナス30%程度の排出削減は十分に合理性を持つことが示唆された。
