2000～2022年の114カ国データを用い、国際クリーンエネルギー資金（ICEF）が生態学的収容力（ECC）に与える影響を分析。ICEFはクリーンエネルギー転換を促進しECCを向上させるが、所得格差が大きいとその効果が減殺される。経済発展レベルが高いほどICEFの効果は増大する。
English
Using panel data from 114 developing countries (2000-2022), this study finds that international clean energy finance (ICEF) significantly enhances ecological carrying capacity (ECC) by promoting clean energy transition. However, high income inequality undermines this positive effect, while higher economic development amplifies it.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の国際協力や企業の海外クリーンエネルギー投資において、単なる資金供給だけでなく受け入れ国の所得格差を考慮する必要性を示唆。日本のGX戦略における開発途上国支援の設計に有用な知見を提供する。
In the global GX context
This paper provides critical evidence for global climate finance effectiveness, showing that income inequality in recipient countries can significantly weaken the ecological benefits of clean energy investments. It informs international funders (e.g., Green Climate Fund) and policymakers designing conditional finance mechanisms.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Understanding how international clean energy finance (ICEF) affects the ecological carrying capacity (ECC) of developing countries, particularly the key role played by income inequality, is essential for advancing global sustainable development. This paper investigates the mechanisms by which ICEF affects ECC in 114 developing countries over the period 2000-2022, focusing on the moderating role of income inequality. Using a two-way fixed-effects model and mediator-moderator analysis, it is found that ICEF significantly enhances ECC mainly by promoting clean energy transition; however, income inequality significantly undermines the positive ecological effects of ICEF. Specifically, highly unequal income distribution inhibits the ecological benefits of the clean energy transition, which significantly reduces the effect of ICEF on ECC. In addition, the level of economic development positively moderates the ecological effect of ICEF, i.e., the higher the level of economic development, the more the potential of ICEF to enhance ECC can be fully realized. This study reveals the complex relationships among financial instruments, income distribution, and ecosystems, providing critical insights for developing countries to improve ecological quality through green financial tools.
