本研究は、北欧5カ国の大規模調査データを用いて、政治志向と個人のカーボンフットプリント、気候行動との関連を分析。右派有権者は左派・緑の党支持者よりフットプリントが大きく気候懸念が低いが、気候懸念を考慮すると差が縮小。気候行動の参加率はほぼ同程度だが、動機に差がある。
English
Using a carbon footprint calculator survey across five Nordic countries (over 7400 respondents), this study finds that right-leaning voters have the highest carbon footprints and lowest climate concern, while left and green voters have the lowest footprints and highest concern. Climate concern mitigates footprint differences across political orientations. Engagement in pro-climate actions is similar across groups, but left/green voters are more likely to be motivated by climate reasons.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は北欧固有の政治的文脈に基づくが、日本の有報・統合報告書におけるScope3排出量の開示や、投資家向け情報としての消費行動分析に示唆を与える可能性がある。日本では政治と気候行動の関連研究が乏しく、参考事例となる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on political polarization in climate action and household carbon footprints. It provides robust empirical evidence from multiple countries, relevant for designing disclosure policies (e.g., Scope 3 reporting) and understanding how political identity influences consumption-based emissions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides empirical evidence on the political determinants of carbon footprints, useful for social science and climate policy research.
🏢実務担当者:Insights into consumer segmentation based on political orientation might inform targeted climate communication and engagement strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the role of political identity in climate action; suggests that policies should address ideological divides to be effective.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change mitigation is a highly political issue today: how people vote affects emission-intensive activities as well as mitigation efforts in a major way. For some, voting for a green party can be a pro-climate action in itself, whereas for others, voting green is to give support for climate mitigation beyond what they do in their own lives. This paper examines whether people’s political preferences are reflected in their personal carbon footprints and their engagement in pro-climate actions. The study uses data from a carbon footprint calculator survey conducted in the five Nordic countries, which had over 7400 respondents. The participants calculated their carbon footprints and answered questions about their engagement in pro-climate actions, climate-related attitudes, and socio-economic status. The study found that right-leaning voters had the highest footprints and lowest climate concerns, while left and green voters had the lowest footprints and highest climate concerns. The voting preference itself showed as a statistically significant variable even after controlling for socio-economic and residential location-related aspects. However, when climate concern was taken into account, the difference in footprints between orientations became smaller, meaning that climate concern was associated with reduced footprints similarly across the political party spectrum. When it comes to engagement in pro-climate actions, participation was similar across the political orientations, with left and green voters engaging slightly more, and right-leaning respondents slightly less. When asked if their engagement was made to lower their carbon footprints, green and left voters were more likely to be motivated by climate reasons.
