本研究はOECD諸国を対象に、リベラル民主主義とCO2排出量の関係をパネルARDLモデルで分析。長期的には民主主義の進展が排出量増加につながる一方、気候対策の強化は削減に寄与することを示した。関係は制度的容量に依存し、基準値超えが必要。政策として排出削減目標の法制化や再生可能エネルギー投資の促進などを提言。

This study uses panel ARDL to analyze the relationship between liberal democracy and CO2 emissions in OECD countries. It finds that liberal democracy increases emissions in the long run unless institutional capacity is high. Recommendations include legislative carbon targets and renewable energy investment.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
OECD諸国の分析から、自由民主主義は気候緩和への需要と同時に経済成長・都市化への需要も生み出すことが示されました。日本も同様の課題を抱えており、制度的能力を高めることで気候対策の効果を高める示唆があります。
In the global GX context
This study highlights that liberal democracies may struggle with climate mitigation unless they have strong institutional capacity. It provides empirical evidence relevant to global discussions on the political feasibility of climate action.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers can examine the conditional effect of democracy on emissions and the role of institutional capacity.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams may consider how political risk and policy stability affect long-term decarbonization planning.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in OECD democracies should prioritize legislative carbon targets and strengthening monitoring and reporting mechanisms.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the relationship between liberal democracy and climate performance. In the econometric analysis conducted using the panel ARDL model, the long-term effects of liberal democracy, climate change performance, urban population, and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) on carbon emissions (CO 2 ) are analyzed based on OECD member countries. We find that an increase in the level of liberal democracy increases carbon emissions in the long term, while improved climate performance significantly reduces emissions. It means that liberal democracy not only generates a “demand for climate mitigation” but also a “demand for climate-insensitive economic growth and urbanization.” If the institutional capacity for climate mitigation cannot balance these demands, an increase in carbon emissions will be inevitable. In this context, we argue that relationship between liberal democracy and climate change performance is not linear, but “conditional”. Liberal democracies can only succeed in climate mitigation when a certain institutional capacity threshold is exceeded. This capacity can be increased with the following concrete policy recommendations for OECD countries: To base carbon reduction targets on permanent/legislative rather than temporary/political grounds, to strengthen emission monitoring and reporting mechanisms, and to encourage investments in renewable energy. To expand investments in electric public transport and low-carbon transportation systems, and develop energy-efficient building standards. To focus not only on the rate of growth but also on the carbon intensity and energy structure of that growth.
