ケアホームの脱炭素化に関する国際的なエビデンスをマッピングしたスコーピングレビュー。22件の研究を分析し、スコープ2排出（電力使用）に焦点が当たり、スコープ1・3は未解明であることを確認。実施にはリスク回避やケア品質への懸念、デジタル技術や持続可能な食材調達への関心がみられた。政策と投資の必要性を提言。
English
This scoping review maps international evidence on care home decarbonisation, analysing 22 studies. Findings show focus on Scope 2 emissions (electricity), while Scope 1 and 3 remain underexplored. Implementation gaps include risk aversion, care quality concerns, and interest in digital tech and sustainable food procurement. Calls for prioritisation in net-zero healthcare frameworks.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では高齢化に伴いケアホームのエネルギー消費が増加している。本レビューはスコープ1・3の測定不足を指摘し、SSBJや有報での排出量開示実務に示唆を与える。特にサプライチェーン排出（スコープ3）の可視化は今後の課題となる。
In the global GX context
Globally, healthcare decarbonisation is a growing priority. This review highlights that care homes, though energy-intensive, are under-researched, especially in Scope 1 and 3 emissions. It aligns with TCFD/ISSB frameworks stressing full value-chain accounting. The findings support policy development for net-zero healthcare, particularly in developed economies with aging populations.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights gaps in Scope 1 and 3 research for care homes, offering a roadmap for future studies.
🏢実務担当者:Provides evidence that low-carbon tech adoption must balance care quality; suggests focusing on electricity monitoring and sustainable procurement.
🏛政策担当者:Underscores the need for dedicated policy guidance and investment to integrate care homes into net-zero healthcare plans.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Care homes are an energy-intensive component of the health and social care sector, with high demands on heating, lighting, laundry, catering and medical technologies. This constant energy use makes care homes a notable contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising care homes presents an opportunity to reduce emissions, operational costs, and deliver health co-benefits by improving air quality and thermal comfort. This scoping review mapped the international evidence on decarbonisation in care homes to inform sustainable practice and policy development. Guided by Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, seven databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, IEEE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched. Eligible studies included care home facilities, residents or staff with data managed in Covidence and extracted using the “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard Inventory Accounting”. A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. The evidence was concentrated around Scope 2 emissions, through efforts to monitor and reduce electricity use, while Scope 1 (facility emissions) and Scope 3 (supply chain emissions) remain comparatively underexplored. Evidence was fragmented and revealed risk aversion and care quality concerns related to adopting low-carbon technologies, as well as a growing interest in digital technologies and sustainable food procurement. Care homes should be prioritised within net zero healthcare frameworks, with targeted research, policy guidance, and investment to support decarbonisation.
