本論文は、2023年からの欧州農業抗議運動を背景に、アイルランドの酪農家が抗議に参加した理由と気候変動に対する見解を調査した。調査結果から、金銭的負担、過剰規制、認知不足が主な理由であり、気候政策への不満と不公平感が広がっていることが明らかになった。しかし、大多数の農家は気候変動対策の重要性を認識し、既に緩和策を実施している。政策設計とコミュニケーションの改善が重要である。
English
This paper examines why Irish dairy farmers protested and their views on climate change, based on survey data. Financial strain, excessive regulation, and lack of recognition were key drivers, along with frustration over environmental policy and perceived unfair blame. Despite this, most farmers acknowledged climate change importance and adopted mitigation measures. Findings suggest resistance is directed at policy design and communication, not climate goals themselves.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも農業分野のGHG削減が課題であり、EUの事例は農家との協調的な政策設計の重要性を示唆する。特に、農家を「排出者」ではなく「パートナー」と位置づけるアプローチは、日本の農業政策にも応用可能である。
In the global GX context
This paper provides timely evidence on the social acceptability of climate policy in agriculture, a critical sector for global decarbonization. It highlights the need for just transition principles in policy design, which is relevant for EU, US, and other regions facing farmer protests and resistance to environmental regulations.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Summary In 2023 and 2024, farmers across Europe, including in Ireland, staged protests. Low farm incomes and increasingly stringent environmental and climate policies were frequently cited as key drivers. By accounting for almost 38 per cent of national greenhouse gas emissions, the agricultural sector is the largest contributor in Ireland to climate change. Reducing these emissions is therefore crucial for achieving Ireland's climate targets. This article examines why Irish dairy farmers protested and how protest participation relates to their views on climate change. Survey findings show that financial strain, excessive regulation and lack of recognition were the most frequently cited reasons for protesting, while frustration with environmental policy and a sense of being unfairly blamed for climate change were also commonly mentioned. Despite this, most farmers recognised the importance of addressing climate change, and over 90 per cent had already implemented at least one mitigation measure on their farms. Nonetheless, the perception of being disproportionately blamed for climate change is widespread. Overall, the findings suggest that resistance is directed less at the climate objectives themselves than at how policies are designed and communicated. Climate policy may more likely gain acceptance if farmers are treated as partners rather than culprits in the transition.
