本論文は、韓国世帯の食料消費と食品廃棄物に関連する炭素排出行動を、所得と世帯タイプの違いに着目して分析した。高所得世帯は炭素集約的な食品（特に牛肉）の消費が多く、全体の排出量も高い一方、低所得世帯は排出量が低い。世帯構造による違いも、食品廃棄物の発生量と一人当たり排出量に影響を与える。消費ベースの炭素不平等に関する既存の証拠と一致する結果を示している。
English
This study examines income and household-type differences in food-related carbon emissions behaviors among South Korean households, focusing on beef and grain consumption and food waste. Higher-income households consume more carbon-intensive foods and have higher overall emissions, while lower-income households have lower emissions. Household structure also affects waste generation and per-capita emissions. The findings document systematic variation across income groups and household structures.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
韓国の事例だが、日本でも同様の消費ベースの炭素不平等が存在し、食料関連排出の削減政策を検討する上で参考になる。特に、家庭での食品ロス削減や高炭素食品への課税など、公平性を考慮した政策設計に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global literature on consumption-based carbon inequality, highlighting how climate mitigation policies must account for heterogeneous impacts across income groups and household types. The findings support designing equitable policies that address both production and consumption-side emissions, aligning with just transition principles.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides empirical evidence on consumption-based carbon inequality in an Asian context, useful for comparative studies.
🏛政策担当者:Offers insights for designing equitable climate policies that consider income and household differences in food-related emissions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Climate mitigation policies increasingly extend beyond production and energy systems to encompass everyday consumption practices, including food consumption and waste management. This study examines income‐ and household‐type differences in food‐related carbon emissions behaviors among South Korean households, focusing on beef and grain consumption and food waste generation. Using nationally representative household survey data, we analyze how emissions‐related behaviors vary across income groups and household structures at both the consumption and disposal stages. Results show clear heterogeneity: higher‐income households exhibit greater consumption of carbon‐intensive foods, particularly beef, and higher overall food‐related carbon emissions, whereas lower‐income households display comparatively lower emissions. Differences across household structures further indicate variation in food waste generation and per‐capita emissions. These patterns are consistent with existing evidence on consumption‐based carbon inequality and reflect differences in affordability, household composition, and constrained choice. The findings document systematic variation in consumption and waste patterns across income groups and household structures.
