本研究は、BRICS諸国における金融包摂（商業銀行支店数）が、再生可能エネルギー消費の増加、CO2排出とPM2.5大気汚染の削減を通じて、乳幼児死亡率を低下させることを実証した。パネル固定効果モデルと媒介分析を用い、環境要因が金融包摂の健康効果を部分的に伝達することを確認。政策含意として、金融アクセス拡大がクリーンエネルギー転換、環境改善、公衆衛生向上のトリプル・ディビデンドをもたらす可能性を示唆。
English
This study empirically demonstrates that financial inclusion in BRICS economies significantly increases renewable energy consumption and reduces CO2 and PM2.5 emissions, which in turn lowers infant and under-five mortality rates. Using panel fixed-effects and mediation analysis, the authors confirm that environmental factors partially transmit the health benefits of financial inclusion. The findings suggest a triple dividend: expanding financial access can support clean energy transition, reduce environmental degradation, and improve public health.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、金融包摂が再生可能エネルギーと排出削減を通じて公衆衛生に貢献する経路を実証。日本でもGX推進の文脈で、金融と環境の連携を強化する政策の重要性が示唆される。
In the global GX context
This paper adds empirical evidence from BRICS on how financial inclusion can drive renewable energy adoption and emission reductions, with co-benefits for public health. For global GX debates, it underscores the need to integrate financial inclusion strategies with climate and health policies, particularly in emerging economies.
👥 読者別の含意

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Aligning financial inclusion with environmental sustainability and public health objectives remains a critical challenge for emerging economies. This study investigates whether financial inclusion can improve child health outcomes through environmental quality improvements in BRICS economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) over the period 2001–2023. Using commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults as a proxy for financial inclusion, the study employs panel fixed‐effects estimation, mediation analysis, and multiple robustness techniques (random effects, GLS, and Driscoll–Kraay standard errors) to examine both direct and indirect transmission mechanisms. The empirical findings reveal that greater financial inclusion significantly increases renewable energy consumption while reducing carbon dioxide emissions and PM2.5 air pollution. Improved environmental quality, in turn, significantly lowers infant and under‐five mortality rates. Mediation results confirm that environmental factors partially transmit the beneficial effects of financial inclusion to public health outcomes. These results remain robust across alternative model specifications. From a policy perspective, the findings suggest that expanding financial access can generate a triple dividend by supporting clean energy transition, reducing environmental degradation, and improving population health. Integrating financial inclusion strategies with green finance instruments, environmental regulation, and public health policies is therefore essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy, climate action, and child health in emerging economies.
