Outline of Research at the Start

日本政府は、2050年までにカーボンゼロ社会を実現し、2030年度には家庭部門における温室効果ガス排出削減目標を39%から66%に引き上げることを掲げた。しかし、どのような省エネ対策を誰に推奨すべきか、一人当たりのカーボンニュートラル達成度、GHGを削減すべき限界など、まだ解決すべき課題がある。本研究では、家庭部門の多様なエネルギー消費形態と世帯属性を把握し、的確な対策を早期に実行することが必要である。また、コロナ長期化や少子高齢化社会に対応したカーボンニュートラルロードマップのシナリオ分析を行い、適切な政策を示すことが求められる。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In our first year of research, we explored the impact of lifestyle differences, such as living locations and income levels, on carbon footprints across various income groups. This led to publications that enhance our understanding of household carbon emission reduction potentials. Our studies highlighted Japan's demographic challenges and the potential of electric vehicle adoption for emissions reduction. We also investigated carbon footprint inequality through household time use patterns, providing insights into sustainable living practices. This work lays the groundwork for policy discussions and lifestyle changes crucial for climate change mitigation, emphasizing the need for actionable strategies towards sustainability.
