本研究は、発展途上国37カ国のパネルデータ（2015-2023）を用いて、化石燃料・再生可能エネルギーの消費がCO2排出に与える影響と、法の支配の調整効果を検証。基礎分析では化石燃料消費が排出を増加させるが、法の支配との交互作用により負の効果に転じ、法の強化が環境影響を緩和することを示した。SDGs 7, 13, 16への貢献を強調。
English
Using panel data from 37 developing economies (2015-2023), this study examines how fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption affect CO2 emissions, and whether the rule of law moderates these effects. Baseline results show fossil fuel consumption increases emissions, but interacting with rule of law turns the effect negative, suggesting stronger legal frameworks mitigate environmental impact. Contributes to SDGs 7, 13, and 16.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策では、法制度の整備が企業の排出削減行動を促す点が示唆される。SSBJ開示やカーボンプライシング導入の効果を評価する際に、法の支配の重要性を再認識させる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this study underscores the role of legal institutions in climate governance, complementing disclosure frameworks like TCFD/ISSB by highlighting that regulatory quality conditions the effectiveness of energy transition policies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study is inspired by the fact that carbon dioxide emissions have continued to increase in the developing world and the increased realisation that legal frameworks do influence the environment. Though dependency on fossil fuels has been recognised as one of the key contributors to carbon dioxide emissions, little focus has been given to the role played by the rule of law in conditioning the environmental impacts of the consumption of fossil fuels as well as renewable energy. This study aims to investigate the direct consequences of energy use in fossil fuels and renewable energy use on carbon dioxide emissions, and determining whether and how the rule of law moderates these associations. Using panel data from thirty-seven developing economies spanning the years 2015 to 2023, the study applies panel regression techniques to estimate the effects of fossil fuel consumption, renewable energy consumption, and the rule of law on carbon dioxide emissions. The baseline findings show that fossil fuel consumption significantly increases carbon dioxide emissions, while renewable energy consumption has a positive but statistically insignificant effect. However, once interacting with the rule of law, fossil fuel consumption becomes negatively and significantly associated with carbon dioxide emissions, indicating that stronger adherence to the rule of law can mitigate its environmental impact. The study offers a novel legal perspective by demonstrating that the rule of law conditions the carbon consequences of energy consumption. It contributes to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals 7, 13, and 16 by emphasising law as a critical instrument for sustainable energy transitions and climate governance.
