本論文は1990年から2023年のサハラ以南アフリカ諸国を対象に、外国援助と送金流入が生態学的フットプリントと大気汚染に与える影響を実証分析。回帰分析とGMM推定を用い、援助や送金の増加が環境負荷を高める一方、一部の援助は有意な削減効果を示さないことを発見。政策立案者に対し、民間セクターの持続可能な起業家精神を促進するブレンデッドファイナンスモデルと、送金を活用したグリーンファイナンスの枠組みを提案している。
English
This study examines the impact of foreign aid and remittance inflows on ecological footprints and air pollution in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1990 to 2023. Using canonical correlations and GMM estimations, it finds that increases in remittances and certain aid types exacerbate environmental degradation, while general aid has an insignificant effect. The paper recommends blended finance models and green finance mechanisms leveraging remittances to achieve SDGs.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
この論文はサハラ以南アフリカを対象としているため、日本のGX文脈への直接的な関係は薄い。しかし、途上国への資金フローと環境負荷の関係を示しており、日本のODAや国際協力の環境影響評価に示唆を与える可能性がある。
In the global GX context
The paper contributes to the global discourse on climate finance and sustainable development by highlighting the environmental consequences of foreign aid and remittances in developing regions. It underscores the need for aligning financial flows with low-carbon transition goals, relevant for international donors and development banks.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides empirical evidence on the environmental effects of foreign capital inflows in SSA, useful for studies on environmental Kuznets curves and aid effectiveness.
🏛政策担当者:Offers insights for designing conditional aid and remittance-linked green finance mechanisms to mitigate ecological footprints.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Streamlined foreign finances accelerate sustainable transformative economies and reducing ecological footprints. Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries are reeling from heavy debt coupled with absence of eco-investments and foreign aid overdependence. Limited transition towards low-carbon future risked dignified life, quality health, water and zero poverty, among sustainable development goals.This paper investigated the role of foreign aid and remittance inflows on ecological footprints and pollution levels from a census of SSA from 1990 to 2023. Regressions involved canonical correlations and GMM estimations. Persistent lagged values of EFPRD and AQI over current pollutions resulted from past regulatory challenges, clean energy costs and limited green investments. Increasing ihs_REM_IGDP and ODA_NPCP caused high ecological footprints and air pollutions while ODA_NGDP caused a reduction with negligible effect due to their statistical insignificance. Moreover, Instrument variables from lagged values were valid given Arellano-Bond tests at AR (1) were significant at 0.05, AR (2) were insignificant, while instrument counts and Hansen tests were valid. We recommend policymakers to develop blended sustainable financial models to spur economic resilience through private sector sustainable entrepreneurships while green finance social bonds earmarked for diaspora remiitances should be facilitated for attainment of SDG’s through collaborative funding of healthcare systems and resilient community empowerment projects.
