本研究は2000～2020年のEU20カ国を対象に、環境劣化が平均余命に与える影響を動的パネルデータで分析。中所得国ではCO2排出が平均余命を低下させる一方、再生可能エネルギーの利用は向上させる。高所得国では化石燃料消費と平均余命に逆説的な正の関係が見られ、制度的な環境規制の強さが影響している。
English
This study examines how environmental degradation affects life expectancy in 20 EU countries from 2000-2020 using a dynamic panel model. In middle-income countries, CO2 emissions reduce life expectancy while renewable energy improves it. In high-income countries, fossil fuel use shows a paradoxical positive association due to strong environmental regulations and welfare systems.

日本のGX文脈において
日本では、環境政策と健康の連関はGXの社会的便益として注目される。本研究は、エネルギー転換が健康に与える影響が国ごとの制度や所得水準に依存することを示し、日本の政策立案においても参考になる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper contributes to the growing literature on health co-benefits of climate action, showing that the energy transition's health impacts are context-dependent. It highlights the role of institutional quality, relevant for the design of just transition policies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Background The relationship between the environment and public health has become an increasing concern on the international agenda, particularly in the European context, where the energy transition seeks to reconcile sustainable development with social well-being. This study examines how environmental degradation affects life expectancy in 20 European Union countries between 2000 and 2020, aiming to provide empirical evidence on the differentiated effects of pollutant emissions and energy sources across income levels. Methods A dynamic panel data model estimated using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is employed, allowing for the control of endogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, and autocorrelation. Results In middle-income countries, CO 2 emissions are negatively and significantly associated with life expectancy, reflecting potential institutional limitations in managing environmental risks Conversely, the use of renewable energy sources is positively associated with life expectancy in middle-income countries,, while the effect is not statistically significant in high-income countries, suggesting context-dependent health co-benefits derived from the energy transition. Conclusions In contrast, in high-income countries, a paradoxical relationship emerges between fossil fuel consumption and higher life expectancy, which can be attributed to the robustness of their welfare systems and environmental regulations.
