Abstract

Küresel iklim değişikliğinin en belirgin özelliği olan küresel ısınma, günümüz dünyasının en ciddi çevresel sorunlarından biri olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Küresel ısınmanın temel nedenlerinden biri, karbondioksit (CO2) emisyonlarındaki hızlı ve önemli artıştır. Güncel araştırmalar, teknolojik yeniliklerin CO2 emisyonlarındaki değişikliklerin belirlenmesinde önemli bir faktör olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, teknolojik inovasyon, hem çevresel sorunların çözümünde hem de düşük karbon ekonomisine geçişte etkili bir araç olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma, 1992-2020 döneminde BRIC (Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan ve Çin) ve Türkiye ülkelerinde çevresel teknolojik inovasyonun küresel ısınma üzerine etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ekonometrik yöntem olarak eşbütünleşme testi (Lagrange çarpanı (LM)) ve eşbütünleşme katsayı tahminci (Ortak İlişkili Etkiler- Common Correlated Effect (CCE)) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, CO2 emisyonu, çevresel teknolojik inovasyon ve kişi başı gayri safi yurtiçi hâsıla (GSYH) değişkenleri kullanılmış olup, bu değişkenler arasında uzun vadeli eşbütünleşme ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Panel geneli analiz sonuçları, çevresel teknolojik inovasyondaki %1'lik artışın CO2 emisyonlarını yaklaşık %0.238 oranında azalttığını, gelirdeki %1'lik artışın ise CO2 emisyonlarını yaklaşık %0.150 oranında artırdığını göstermektedir. Bulgular, çevresel teknolojik inovasyonun CO2 emisyonlarının azaltılmasında kritik bir role sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum küresel ısınma üzerinde olumlu etkilere yol açarak çevresel sürdürülebilirliği teşvik etmektedir.

Abstract

Global climate change, with global warming as its most prominent feature, stands out as one of the most serious environmental issues of today’s world. One of the main causes of global warming is the rapid and significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Recent studies reveal that technological innovations play a crucial role in determining changes in CO2 emissions. In this context, technological innovation is considered an effective tool both in addressing environmental issues and in the transition to a low-carbon economy. This study aims to examine the impact of environmental technological innovation on global warming in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and Turkey for the period 1992-2020. As econometric methods, the cointegration test (Lagrange Multiplier (LM)) and the cointegration coefficient estimator (Common Correlated Effects (CCE)) method were employed. The study utilizes CO2 emissions, environmental technological innovation, and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) as variables, confirming a long-term cointegration relationship among them. Panel-wide analysis results indicate that a 1% increase in environmental technological innovation reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 0.238%, while a 1% increase in income raises CO2 emissions by around 0.150%. The findings highlight the critical role of environmental technological innovation in reducing CO2 emissions, leading to positive effects on global warming and promoting environmental sustainability.
