Özet:

 This study analyses the environmental quality of the countries known as the Fragile Five within the framework of green economy. Ecological footprint variable is used as an indicator of environmental quality. FGLS estimator was utilised in the study covering the period 1992-2019. The empirical findings show that renewable energy supply and energy efficiency have a reducing effect on ecological footprint in these countries. However, economic growth variable has an increasing effect on ecological footprint. On the other hand, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the environmental policy stringency index and green technology variables and the ecological footprint variable. In line with these results, the importance of renewable energy, energy efficiency, green technology and effective environmental policies in the transition process of the Fragile Five countries to a green economy is emphasised. Taking these policy recommendations into consideration will be able to take important steps in terms of environmental sustainability. Therefore, it will be able to bring the Fragile Five countries to a more advanced level within the framework of sustainable development goals and contribute to a more sustainable economy-environment relationship within the scope of green economy.

 Çalışmada Kırılgan Beşli Hindistan, Türkiye, Brezilya, Endonezya ve Güney Afrika ülkelerinin yeşil ekonomi çerçevesinde çevresel kaliteleri üzerine bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Çevresel kalite göstergesi olarak ekolojik ayak izi değişkeni kullanılmıştır. 1992-2019 dönemlerini kapsayan çalışmada FGLS Feasible Generalized Least Squares tahmincisinden faydalanılmıştır. Elde edilen ampirik bulgular, bu ülkelerde yenilenebilir enerji arzı ve enerji verimliliğinin ekolojik ayak izini azaltıcı yönde bir etkide bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak ekonomik büyüme değişkeninin ekolojik ayak izi üzerinde artırıcı bir etkide bulunduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Buna karşın çevresel politika katılığı indeksi ve yeşil teknoloji değişkenlerinin ekolojik ayak izi değişkeni ile aralarında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmemiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, Kırılgan Beşli ülkelerinin yeşil ekonomiye geçiş sürecinde, yenilenebilir enerji, enerji verimliliği, yeşil teknoloji ve etkin çevresel politikaların önemi vurgulanmaktadır. Söz konusu bu politika önerilerinin dikkate alınması, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli adımlar atılmasını sağlayabilecektir. Dolayısıyla Kırılgan Beşli ülkelerini sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri çerçevesinde daha ileri bir seviyeye ulaştırabilecektir ve yeşil ekonomi kapsamında daha sürdürülebilir bir ekonomi-çevre ilişkisine katkı yapabilecektir.
