Abstract

Central Asian countries’ very rich natural resources spurs economic growth in the region. Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan sit on inhabit on large natural gas and oil reserves. However, Kazakhstan has access to the biggest recoverable oil reserves among the Caspian Sea countries. During the past two decades, Kazakhstan has been increasing its energy exports volume while it increased its economic growth. The speedy growth in energy industry of Central Asian countries fatally enhances environmental degradation in region. On the other hand, both Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have not transformed into liberalized economic systems. These situations have tended to the governments of region towards short term economic advancement rather than long term sustainable development. Although environmental deterioration is a main result of the process of economic growth, global warming and climate change has been threating the quality of human life. Though Central Asian countries signed to Kyoto protocol to decrease CO2emission levels, these countries still have environmental pollution concerns. This paper examines relationships between CO2 emissions, economic and financial development and fossil fuel energy consumption for a panel of Central Asian countries over the period 1992-2013. The findings of this study show that an inverted U shape environmental Kuznets curve for Central Asia. Moreover, energy consumption and urbanization are found to have positive effects on CO2 emissions. However, analysis suggests that financial development and trade openness are essential factors for the reduction of CO2 emissions

Özet

Orta Asya ülkelerinin zengin doğal kaynakları, bölge ülkelerinin ekonomik büyümelerini hızla artırmalarına yardımcı olmaktadır. Türkmenistan ve Özbekistan çok büyük petrol ve doğal gaz rezervlerine sahiptir. Kazakistan ise Hazar gölüne kıyısı olan ülkeler arasında en büyük petrol rezervlerine sahiptir. Geçen yirmi yıl boyunca Kazakistan'ın enerji ihracat hacmini artırırken Gayri Safi Milli Hasılasını da artırdığı görülmektedir. Orta Asya ülkeleri enerji sektöründe yaşanan bu hızlı büyüme, çevresel kirlenmeyi kaçınılmaz şekilde artırmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, Türkmenistan ve Özbekistan henüz liberal ekonomik sisteme dönüşüm yapamamışlardır. Bu durumlar, Orta Asya ülke yönetimlerini uzun dönemli sürdürülebilir kalkınmadan ziyade kısa dönem ekonomik iyileşmeye yöneltmiştir. Çevre kirliliği, ekonomik büyümenin ana sonuçlarından birisi olmasına rağmen, küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliği problemleri insan yaşam kalitesini tehdit etmektedir. COdüzeylerini azaltmak için Orta Asya ülkeleri Kyoto protokolünü imzalamalarına rağmen, bölge ülkeleri hala çevre kirliliği konusunda kaygılanmaktadırlar. Bu çalışma, Orta Asya ülkeleri için CO2 salınımları ile ekonomik ve finansal gelişme ve fosil yakıt enerji tüketimi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, Orta Asya ülkeleri için ters-U biçimindeki Çevresel Kuznets eğrisinin geçerliliğini göstermektedir. Buna ek olarak, enerji tüketimi ve şehirleşmenin CO2 salınımlarını pozitif etkilediği bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, analizler finansal gelişme ve ticari açıklığın CO2 salınımlarını azaltmada önemli faktörler olduklarını göstermektedir
