日本語

フランスの研究者4688人を対象にした調査から、気候危機への高い認識と懸念にもかかわらず、緩和策の実施が限られている理由を分析。半数以上が学術界の緩和努力への参加に消極的で、競争力や科学的重要性への懸念が障壁となることを示す。緩和策のコスト認識や脱成長への同意の低さが関連し、上級男性研究者や物理・化学・医学分野で多い。

English

This paper analyzes a national survey of 4,688 academics in France to explain why high climate awareness in academia does not translate into effective mitigation action. Over half of respondents show attitudinal barriers, including reluctance to include academia in mitigation efforts and opposition to institutional policies. Perceived costs to competitiveness and scientific visibility, lower agreement with degrowth, and senior male scientists in physical sciences are associated with stronger barriers.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本の大学・研究機関でも気候変動対策の導入は遅れており、本論文の知見は、研究者のキャリアや評価制度との整合性が重要であることを示唆する。SSBJやTCFDに対応する人材育成や研究機関のガバナンス改革に応用可能。

In the global GX context

This study illuminates a critical global challenge: the gap between stated climate commitments and institutional action. For research institutions worldwide, it highlights that addressing academic hierarchies and productivity norms is essential for effective climate mitigation policies, relevant to ISSB, CSRD, and net-zero transitions.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Reveals the role of academic culture and career structures as barriers to climate action, informing future research on institutional change.

🏛政策担当者:Provides evidence that mitigation policies in universities must address perceived costs to competitiveness and integrate with evaluation systems.

📄 Abstract（原文）

General support for climate action is widely expressed within academia and public research, with surveys consistently reporting exceptionally high levels of awareness and concern about the climate crisis. Yet, the implementation of mitigation policies in universities and research institutions remains limited. Drawing on a national survey of 4,688 academics and research personnel in France, we examine this apparent paradox and find that more than half express attitudinal barriers to climate action, including reluctance toward the inclusion of academia in mitigation efforts, opposition to institutional mitigation policies, and inconsistencies between stated support for mitigation and willingness to adopt corresponding changes in individual research practices. Higher perceived costs of academic mitigation actions—particularly their potential impacts on competitiveness and scientific visibility—are consistently associated with these barriers, along with lower agreement with degrowth as a response to environmental challenges. Such barriers are also more prevalent among senior male scientists with higher levels of mobility, particularly in physics, chemistry, and medical and health sciences. Academia provides a critical context to examine how climate inaction can persist in the near absence of climate denial. Our findings suggest that moving from stated commitments to effective action requires addressing how climate policies interact with academic hierarchies and dominant models of productivity and recognition—an issue with direct implications for the design of mitigation policies within research institutions.
