Özet:

 Many factors, especially economic activities, population growth, and technological developments that have emerged and accelerated in the last fifty years, have negatively affected the environment and have become one of the important problems today. One of the criteria used to evaluate the negative impact is the ecological footprint. The ecological footprint needs to be met with biocapacity. BRICS countries have a significant share in the world population and their economic weight is expected to increase further in the future. For this reason, it is foreseen that the ecological footprint in these countries will grow in the future and bring important environmental problems. In this study, by adding Turkey to the BRICS countries, the ecological status and the course of the components that make up the ecological footprint were tried to be determined and evaluated with their reasons. As a result, the ecological footprint of all the countries involved in the study tends to increase. Brazil and Russia have an ecological surplus, while other countries have an ecological deficit. Considering that the economic weight of the countries will increase in the future, the ecological footprint will grow even more. Therefore, it is recommended to focus on renewable energy sources.

 Son elli yılda ortaya çıkan ve hızlanan ekonomik faaliyetler, nüfus artışı ve teknolojik gelişmeler başta olmak üzere birçok faktör çevreyi olumsuz etkilemiş ve günümüzün önemli sorunlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Olumsuz etkinin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan ölçütlerden biri de ekolojik ayak izidir. Ekolojik ayak izinin biyolojik kapasite ile karşılanması gerekmektedir. BRICS ülkeleri dünya nüfusunda önemli bir paya sahiptir ve ekonomik ağırlığının gelecekte daha da artması beklenmektedir. Bu sebeple bu ülkelerde ekolojik ayak izinin gelecekte büyüyerek önemli çevre sorunlarını beraberinde getirmesi öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada BRICS ülkelerine Türkiyeyi de ekleyerek ekolojik durumları ile ekolojik ayak izini oluşturan bileşenlerin seyri tespit edilip, sebepleriyle değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak ele alınan tüm ülkelerin ekolojik ayak izi artma eğilimindedir. Brezilya ve Rusya ekolojik fazla verirken, diğer ülkeler ekolojik açık vermektedir. Ülkelerin ekonomik ağırlıklarının gelecekte daha da artacağı düşünüldüğünde ekolojik ayak izi daha da büyüyecektir. Dolayısıyla yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına ağırlık verilmesi önerilmektedir.
