Abstract

Population growth and rapid consumption of natural resources after the industrial revolution have led to global warming and climate change. This situation has made it necessary to fight climate change. The first step is to reduce carbon emissions. This aims to reduce the negative effects of greenhouse gas emissions and prevent climate change. Carbon pricing mechanisms have been developed to achieve this goal. However, failure to use these mechanisms may adversely affect international competition. For this reason, the European Union has established a carbon border adjustment mechanism. Turkey does not yet apply carbon pricing, but studies on this issue are ongoing. As a result, the European Union's carbon border adjustment mechanism is seen as an incentive and opportunity for Turkey. Turkey's work is focused on the emissions trading system, but it is considered that there should also be a focus on the carbon tax.

Özet

Sanayi devrimi sonrası nüfus artışı ve doğal kaynakların hızlı tüketimi, küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliğine yol açmıştır. Bu durum, iklim değişikliğiyle mücadeleyi zorunlu kılmıştır. İlk adım, karbon emisyonlarını azaltmaktır. Bu, sera gazı salımının olumsuz etkilerini azaltmayı ve iklim değişikliğini önlemeyi amaçlar. Karbon fiyatlandırma mekanizmaları, bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için geliştirilmiştir. Ancak, bu mekanizmaların kullanılmaması, uluslararası rekabeti olumsuz etkileyebilir. Bu nedenle, Avrupa Birliği (AB) sınırda karbon düzenleme mekanizmasını oluşturmuştur. Türkiye, henüz karbon fiyatlandırması uygulamamaktadır, ancak bu konuda çalışmalar devam etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Avrupa Birliği’nin sınırda karbon düzenleme mekanizması, Türkiye için bir teşvik ve fırsat olarak görülmektedir. Türkiye’nin çalışmaları, emisyon ticaret sistemine odaklanmıştır, ancak karbon vergisi üzerine de odaklanılması gerektiği değerlendirilmektedir.
