Abstract

This study evaluates Türkiye’s performance in achieving the 12th Sustainable Development Goal on Responsible Consumption and Production. According to the Sustainable Development Report 2024, Türkiye ranks 72nd globally with an SDG index score of 70.5, performing below the OECD average of 77. While Türkiye demonstrates relative success in only the no poverty goal, classified under the challenges remain achievement status, the remaining goals are categorized as significant challenges and major challenges. Based on insights from global sustainability datasets, the study examines key indicators, including raw material use, marine eutrophication, fossil-fuel subsidies, municipal waste recycling, and renewable energy generation. Türkiye’s progress is assessed relative to global averages and selected country groups, revealing both achievements and areas for improvement. While Türkiye has shown improvements in some areas, such as renewable energy capacity and municipal waste recycling, challenges persist, particularly in hazardous waste management and sustainable public procurement practices.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin 12. Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefi olan Sorumlu Tüketim ve Üretim hedefindeki performansını değerlendirmektedir. Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Raporu 2024’e göre Türkiye, 70,5 puanlık SKH endeks skoru ile küresel sıralamada 72. sırada yer almakta ve 77 olan OECD ortalamasının altında bir performans sergilemektedir. Türkiye yalnızca "yoksulluğa son" hedefinde göreli bir başarı gösterirken, bu başarı da “zorluklar devam ediyor” kategorisinde yer almaktadır. Diğer tüm hedefler ise “önemli zorluklar” ve “büyük zorluklar” olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Çalışma, küresel sürdürülebilirlik veri setlerinden elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak hammadde kullanımı, deniz ötrofikasyonu, fosil yakıt sübvansiyonları, belediye atık geri dönüşümü ve yenilenebilir enerji üretimi gibi temel göstergeleri incelemektedir. Türkiye’nin ilerlemesi, küresel ortalamalar ve seçilmiş ülke grupları ile karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmekte; hem elde edilen başarılar hem de iyileştirilmesi gereken alanlar ortaya konmaktadır. Türkiye bazı alanlarda, örneğin yenilenebilir enerji kapasitesi ve belediye atıklarının geri dönüşümü gibi konularda ilerleme kaydetmiş olsa da, özellikle tehlikeli atık yönetimi ve sürdürülebilir kamu alımları uygulamalarında önemli sorunlar sürmektedir.
