本研究は2000年から2022年の69か国のパネルデータを用いて、エネルギー正義が環境悪化に与える影響と、再生可能エネルギー導入の調整効果を分析。動的GMM推定の結果、エネルギー正義の向上は環境悪化を促進するが、再生可能エネルギーがその影響を弱めることが示された。これは公平性と持続可能性のトレードオフを示唆し、再生可能エネルギーや技術革新の十分な蓄積により相乗効果に転じる可能性がある。
English
This study analyzes the impact of energy justice on environmental degradation using panel data from 69 countries (2000-2022) and examines the moderating role of renewable energy. Results show that higher energy justice is associated with greater environmental degradation, but renewable energy deployment weakens this effect. The findings indicate an equity-sustainability trade-off that may shift to synergy with sufficient renewable energy and innovation.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でもエネルギー公正（energy justice）の議論が徐々に広がっているが、本論文は再生可能エネルギー導入と環境負荷の関係について実証的な示唆を与える。日本のGX政策において、再生可能エネルギー拡大と社会的公平性の両立を考える上で参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on the trade-off between energy justice and environmental sustainability, highlighting the critical role of renewable energy deployment. It contributes to global discussions on just transition and climate policy design, particularly for developing countries balancing energy access and emission reduction.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Fuels further research on the equity-sustainability nexus and the conditions under which energy justice aligns with environmental goals.
🏢実務担当者:Suggests that corporate renewable energy procurement must be paired with efficiency measures to avoid rebound effects on environmental degradation.
🏛政策担当者:Indicates that energy justice policies relying on fossil fuels may worsen environmental degradation unless coupled with renewable energy expansion and innovation.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Energy justice has emerged as a framework for understanding how energy systems distribute access, affordability, governance power, and the benefits and burdens associated with energy production and consumption. Yet its environmental implications remain insufficiently understood. This study examines whether energy justice contributes to or mitigates environmental degradation using an unbalanced panel of 69 countries from 2000 to 2022. Environmental degradation is measured through the ecological footprint, with CO2 emissions used as an alternative proxy. Using a dynamic two-step system GMM estimator, the results show that higher levels of energy justice are associated with greater environmental degradation. This points to an equity – sustainability trade-off, whereby gains in energy access and affordability may translate into higher consumption and greater environmental pressure when they are achieved through fossil-fuel-dependent energy systems. However, renewable energy deployment moderates this relationship by weakening the adverse environmental effect of energy justice. Additional analyses indicate that technological innovation and economic development reduce this trade-off, while threshold results suggest that the relationship may shift toward synergy once sufficient levels of renewable energy, innovation, and income are reached. The findings are robust to alternative measures of energy justice and environmental degradation, as well as to additional estimators addressing endogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. This study contributes to the literature by showing that energy justice is not automatically aligned with environmental sustainability. Rather, its ecological implications depend on the extent to which equity-oriented energy policies are combined with renewable energy expansion, technological innovation, and economic development that supports cleaner and more efficient energy systems.
