本研究は、2022年の韓国の行政区画別データを用いて、建築物および道路輸送からの炭素排出と森林による炭素吸収の空間パターンを分析した。正味炭素収支が類似していても、排出と吸収の構成が異なる場合があること、また正味排出地区が集中していることなど、顕著な空間的不平等を明らかにした。これらの知見は、排出削減と炭素吸収源の保全・強化を統合した政策の重要性を示している。
English
Using district-level data for 2022 from South Korea, this study analyzes spatial patterns of carbon emissions (buildings and transport) and sinks (forests). It reveals that similar net carbon balances can arise from different emission-sink configurations, and that net-emitting districts are concentrated. The findings highlight spatial inequalities and underscore the need for integrated emission reduction and sink enhancement policies to achieve carbon neutrality.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の自治体でも地域カーボンバランスの把握が進んでおり、排出源と吸収源の構成の違いを考慮した政策立案が必要とされている。本研究の手法は、日本の市町村別炭素収支分析にも応用可能であり、地域脱炭素政策の立案に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global literature on spatial carbon accounting and climate equity. It demonstrates that local carbon balance assessments must disaggregate emissions and sinks to avoid misleading aggregate outcomes, informing subnational climate action plans and national carbon neutrality strategies worldwide.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Useful for researchers studying spatial carbon accounting, urban-rural emission disparities, and the interplay between emissions and sinks at local scales.
🏢実務担当者:Local governments and regional planners can adopt the bivariate cartogram methodology to assess their own carbon balance and identify priority areas for mitigation and sink enhancement.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should note that net carbon balances can mask structurally different emission-sink configurations, requiring tailored policies that address both emission reductions and sink preservation.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Local-scale carbon information is essential for developing effective and equitable climate change mitigation policies. Using district-level data on carbon emissions from buildings and on-road transport and carbon sinks from forested areas in South Korea, this study examines spatial patterns of carbon imbalance for 2022. A bivariate cartogram combined with a ranked distribution of net carbon balance is used to distinguish between underlying emission–sink configurations and their aggregate outcomes. The results show that similar net carbon balances can arise from structurally different combinations of emissions and sinks. In addition, net-emitting districts predominate and are concentrated in districts with relatively high carbon imbalances. Net carbon sinks remain limited in both number and magnitude. These findings highlight pronounced spatial inequalities and underscore the importance of integrating emission reduction with the preservation and enhancement of carbon sinks to achieve carbon neutrality.
