Özet

Çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanması ve sosyo-ekonomik kalkınmanın gerçekleştirilmesinde küresel ölçekte mavi ekonomi yaklaşımı önem kazanmaktadır. Okyanus kaynaklı ekonomik faaliyetlerin ya da okyanus üzerinde etkili sektörlerin çevresel-sosyal-ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması günümüzde küresel ısınma, iklim değişikliği, atık yönetimi, kullanılan enerji kaynakları gibi pek çok faktörden etkilenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, mavi ekonomi çerçevesinde mavi finansman ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri arasındaki ilişkinin de incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Son yıllarda, mavi ekonominin sürdürülebilirliğini destekleyecek yenilikçi finansal mekanizmaların geliştirildiği görülmektedir. Ancak, yönetişim, kurumsal yapı ve borç yönetimine ilişkin sorunlar güç ilişkileri ve borç bağımlılığı üzerinden bu mekanizmaların etkinliğini sınırlayabilmektedir. Çalışma, mavi tahviller ve borç-doğa takası mekanizmalarını parçalı ve betimleyici şekilde ele alan literatürden farklı olarak bütüncül bir çerçeve içerisinde bu yenilikçi mekanizmaların borç sürdürülebilirliği ve yönetişim üzerindeki etkilerini politik ekonomik bakış açısıyla incelemektedir. Çalışma sonucunda, mavi finansman araçlarının sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerinin desteklenmesine ve deniz ekosistemlerinin korunmasına katkı sağlayabileceği ancak bu araçların etkinliğinin ülkenin kurumsal yapısı, yönetişim ve etkin borç yönetimi mekanizmalarına bağlı olduğuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract

The blue economy approach is gaining importance on a global scale in ensuring environmental sustainability and achieving socio-economic development. Ensuring the environmental, social and economic sustainability of ocean-based economic activities or sectors that have an impact on the ocean is currently influenced by numerous factors, such as global warming, climate change, waste management and energy sources. In this context, the relationship between blue finance and sustainable development goals within the framework of the blue economy must also be examined. In recent years, innovative financial mechanisms have been developed to support the sustainability of the blue economy. However, issues relating to governance, institutional structure and debt management can limit the effectiveness of these mechanisms through power relations and debt dependency. Unlike the literature, which addresses blue bonds and debt-for-nature swap mechanisms in a fragmented and descriptive manner, this study examines the effects of these innovative mechanisms on debt sustainability and governance within a holistic framework, from a political-economic perspective. The study concludes that blue finance instruments can contribute to supporting sustainable development goals and protecting marine ecosystems; however, the effectiveness of these instruments depends on the country’s institutional structure, governance and debt management mechanisms.
