Özet:

 The effects of globalization and economic growth on environmental pollution are still a matter of debate among researchers. In the study, Turkey, which has developed its economic cooperations and trade relations with other countries and become globalized after World War II, which defined export-oriented growth as its target, and which has a carbon-dense economy, is being handled. In the study, the effects of the variables of globalization, primary energy consumption, trade openness, urbanization and economic growth on environmental pollution CO2 are tested econometrically, by using annual data of Turkey between 1970-2020. During testing the relations between variables, ARDL method has been used. According to the results, both short-run and long-run relations have been observed between variables, and coefficients have been found statistically significant. It is resulted in the model that independent variables of energy consumption, urbanization and economic growth increase the dependent variable-environmental pollution. Toda- Yamamoto causality test has been applied which is preferred at most in situations that ARDL method is practised. According to causality test results, causality relations have been found between variables. In this context, suggestions are made to policy makers in order to find solutions and take cautions for environmental pollution which has a great importance both for natural and economic life.

 Araştırmacılar arasında, küreselleşmenin ve ekonomik büyümenin çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkileri, günümüzde hâlâ tartışma konusudur. Bu bakımdan çalışmada, II. Dünya Savaşından sonra diğer ülkelerle ekonomik iş birliklerini ve ticari ilişkilerini geliştiren, küreselleşmiş, ihracata dayalı ekonomik büyümeyi hedef olarak belirlemiş karbon yoğun bir ekonomiye sahip olan Türkiye ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmada Türkiyenin 1970  2020 yılları arasındaki yıllık verileri kullanılarak; küreselleşme, birincil enerji tüketimi, ticari açıklık, kentleşme ve ekonomik büyüme değişkenlerinin çevre kirliliği CO2 üzerindeki etkileri ekonometrik olarak test edilmektedir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin test edilmesinde ARDL metodu kullanılmıştır. Ulaşılan sonuçlara göre, değişkenler arasında hem kısa hem de uzun dönemli ilişkiler tespit edilmiş, katsayılar istatistiki olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Modelde kullanılan enerji tüketimi, kentleşme ve ekonomik büyüme bağımsız değişkenlerinin bağımlı değişken olan çevre kirliliğini artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. ARDL metodunun uygulandığı durumlarda en çok tercih edilen Toda  Yamamoto nedensellik testi uygulanmıştır. Nedensellik test sonuçlarına göre değişkenler arasında nedensellik ilişkileri tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda gerek doğal gerekse ekonomik yaşam açısından ciddi öneme sahip çevre kirliliğinin çözümü ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması için politika yapıcılarına önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
