本研究はナイジェリアの燃料補助金撤廃が家庭のエネルギー選択と森林資源利用に与える影響を調査。LPGや灯油の使用が減少し、薪や木炭への依存が増加。家庭の森林製品利用が補助金撤廃前の1.92から撤廃後5.55に増加した。家庭規模と過去の森林利用が重要な予測因子であり、モデルは分散の63.5%を説明。手頃なクリーンエネルギー代替手段がない場合、補助金撤廃はエネルギー貧困と森林劣化を悪化させる可能性がある。
English
This study examines the impact of fuel subsidy removal on household energy choices and forest resource use in Nigeria. Findings show a shift from LPG and kerosene to firewood and charcoal, with forest-product use rising from 1.92 to 5.55. Household size and prior forest use are key predictors, explaining 63.5% of variation. Without affordable clean alternatives, subsidy removal may worsen energy poverty and forest degradation.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の文脈では、燃料補助金改革は直接的に関係しないが、途上国でのエネルギー転換の課題を示す事例として参考になる。特にSSBJや有報でのエネルギー使用開示において、サプライチェーン上の森林資源依存リスクを考慮する際の示唆となる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this case study illustrates the unintended environmental consequences of energy subsidy reform, relevant to just transition discussions. It underscores the need for integrated policy linking affordable clean energy access with forest conservation, a theme echoed in ISSB and TCFD biodiversity considerations.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study assessed the effects of removing the fuel subsidy on household energy preferences and forest resource utilisation in Ijebu-Ode Metropolis, Ogun State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted among 300 households selected through stratified random sampling across six communities. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering household characteristics, energy sources before and after subsidy removal, forest-product use, and perceptions of environmental impact. Forest-product use was measured using a Likert-scale index. The findings showed a marked shift in household energy choices after subsidy removal, with reduced use of LPG and kerosene and increased dependence on firewood and charcoal. Mean household forest-product use increased from 1.92 before subsidy removal to 5.55 after subsidy removal. Regression analysis identified household size and previous forest-product use as important predictors of post-subsidy forest dependence, with the model explaining 63.5% of the variation. Although many respondents were aware of the environmental implications of forest-resource extraction, affordability constraints strongly shaped household energy decisions. The study concludes that removing fuel subsidies, unless accompanied by affordable clean-energy alternatives such as subsidised LPG, improved cookstoves, and solar-based solutions, may intensify energy poverty and increase pressure on local forest resources. Targeted support for LPG access, improved cookstoves, and community-level biomass governance is needed to reduce both energy poverty and forest degradation.
