サブサハラ・アフリカ39カ国（2000～2023年）のパネルデータを用い、ESG要因が持続可能性移行に与える影響を分析。環境圧力（炭素強度・エネルギー使用）は移行を阻害し、女性雇用などの労働市場要因は改善に寄与。規制の質とGDPが条件付け要因として機能し、非線形・動学的関係も確認。画一的な政策の非有効性を示し、文脈に応じたESG戦略の重要性を強調。
English
Using panel data from 39 sub-Saharan African countries (2000–2023), this study examines how ESG drivers affect sustainability transition performance. Environmental pressures (carbon intensity, energy use) consistently hinder transitions, while female employment improves outcomes. Regulatory quality and GDP per capita condition these effects, with nonlinear and dynamic patterns. Findings highlight heterogeneity and argue for context-specific ESG policies.

日本のGX文脈において
日本企業・政策担当者にとっては、新興市場におけるESG要素とエネルギー移行の複合的関係を理解する手がかりとなる。SSBJ対応では途上国サプライチェーンのScope 3評価にも示唆があるが、日本固有の含意は限定的。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global sustainability-transition scholarship by showing that ESG drivers operate heterogeneously across developing economies, challenging one-size-fits-all policies. For disclosure frameworks (TCFD/ISSB) it underscores the importance of country-level context when assessing transition risk and ESG performance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Despite growing emphasis on sustainability transitions in developing economies, evidence remains limited on how environmental, social and governance (ESG) conditions shape sustainability outcomes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This study examines the environmental, social and governance drivers of sustainability transition performance across 39 SSA countries over the period 2000–2023. A composite sustainability transition performance index (STPI), constructed from renewable energy consumption and reverse‐coded energy intensity indicators, is used to capture transition performance. A multi‐method panel framework is employed to examine direct, conditional, nonlinear and dynamic relationships. The findings show that environmental pressures, particularly carbon intensity and energy use, consistently weaken sustainability transition performance, whereas labour‐market conditions, particularly female employment and female wage employment, improve sustainability outcomes. Governance conditions operate primarily through regulatory quality, which significantly conditions the relationship between environmental pressures and sustainability transition performance. In addition, GDP per capita shapes the sustainability effects of environmental and labour‐market drivers across countries. Nonlinear estimates reveal an inverted U‐shaped relationship between energy use and sustainability transition performance, while dynamic estimates indicate strong persistence over time. The findings reveal substantial heterogeneity in sustainability pathways, suggesting that one‐size‐fits‐all sustainability policies may be less effective in SSA and underscoring the importance of context‐specific ESG strategies. The study contributes to sustainability‐transition research by demonstrating how interacting ESG drivers shape heterogeneous sustainability transitions in SSA.
