Study Finds Men Emit More Pollution Thanks to These Two Lifestyle Choices

  • A 2025 preliminary research report analyzing data from 15,000 French individuals found that men produce 26 percent more pollution related to transportation and diet than women.
  • Researchers linked this difference mainly to lifestyle choices, especially men's higher red meat consumption and greater car use, reflecting traditional gender norms.
  • After adjusting for socioeconomic factors like income and education, the gender gap shrinks to 18 percent, with the remaining 6.5 to 9.5 percent difference still explained by diet and transport habits.
  • Co-Author Ondine Berland explained that traditional gender expectations, which associate masculinity with higher consumption of red meat and greater reliance on cars, strongly influence the amount of carbon emissions produced by individuals.
  • These findings highlight that gender-related behaviors significantly affect emissions, suggesting greater efforts are needed to address how social factors influence climate impact.
