Research indicates that men in France produce 26% more greenhouse gas emissions than women, driven primarily by transport and dietary habits related to red meat consumption and car use. After adjusting for factors such as income and education, the gender gap decreases to 18%. Nearly all remaining differences in emissions can be attributed to men's higher caloric intake and longer travel distances, while no significant disparity was noted in flying. These findings underscore how traditional gender norms influence individual carbon footprints, particularly in patriarchal societies.
Men emit 26% more planet-heating pollution than women from transport and food, with traditional gender norms playing a significant role in shaping individual carbon footprints.
The gap shrinks to 18% after controlling for socioeconomic factors like income and education, suggesting a strong link to eating habits and transportation choices.
