日本語

北極地域におけるエネルギーと貧困の連関を分析し、意思決定プロセスが矛盾した合理性のもとで社会的脆弱性を維持していることを示す。脱炭素目標を環境的美徳シグナルとして利用し、先住民の参加や主権要求を軽視する政策が現状を固定化していると批判する。

English

This chapter examines the energy-poverty nexus in Arctic communities, revealing how decision-making processes perpetuate socioeconomic precarity. It argues that decarbonization goals are co-opted as environmental virtue signaling to maintain the status quo of resource extraction while marginalizing Indigenous sovereignty.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本の石炭火力撤退や地域の公正な移行を考える際に、脱炭素目標が既存の権力構造を維持するために利用される危険性を示唆する。先住民の視点を軽視する政策への批判は、日本のエネルギー政策にも示唆を与える。

In the global GX context

This paper contributes a critical perspective to the global just transition discourse, highlighting how decarbonization can be co-opted to perpetuate inequalities. It is relevant to ISSB and CSRD discussions on social sustainability and indigenous rights.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Researchers studying just transitions, energy justice, and decolonization of energy policy will find a novel framework linking energy-poverty nexus to decarbonization politics.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should note the risk of using decarbonization goals as a pretext for maintaining extractive economies; inclusive transition planning must address local sovereignty.

📄 Abstract（原文）

In this chapter, we explore how conditions of human well-being and social-technical-environmental tensions that are formed and sustained by energy systems co-exist in Arctic communities. Using the energy–poverty nexus framework, we construct descriptive-analytical narratives of interactions between energy systems and the different aspects of human and social well-being, encompassing a range of structures, mechanisms, norms and positionality. We find that the energy–poverty nexus in the Arctic is characterized by socioeconomic precarity for the people resulting from decision-making processes operating under paradoxical rationalities, sustained through evolving technopolitcs of dominant actors in the energy regimes and resisted by non-dominant actors seeking to disrupt the nexus. The net manifested outcome of the nexus is observed in policy actions that address the symptoms of poverty but maintain the general state of precarity, carefully avoiding any radical gains in well-being and disruptions to the status quo of natural resource exploitation in the Arctic. On the contrary, achieving environmental and social sustainability is projected to be contingent on such strategic inaction, with minor concessions to evolving political and economic demands for change. This is primarily attempted through influencing public policy using environmental virtue signaling, specifically the appropriation of decarbonization goals, and by tacit marginalization of equitable participation and sovereignty demands of Indigenous peoples in energy decisions.
