Özet:

 The Paris Climate Change Agreement imposes certain responsibilities on the signatory countries to limit the increase in global temperatures to a specific level. To establish common legislation for these responsibilities, the European Union introduced the European Green Deal in 2019. The Green Deal includes a series of legislative changes aimed at achieving the goal of becoming a climate-neutral continent by 2050. As of 2023, the maritime sector, which is the carrier of international trade, has also been included within the scope of the Green Deal. As a result of the legislation that has come into force, the environmental obligations of maritime transport have increased, and sanctions will be applied to those who fail to comply with these obligations. This legislative change applies not only to maritime companies within the European Union but also to foreign-flagged ships calling at European Union ports. Considering Turkeys international trade relations with the European Union, this legislative change, which is highly significant for our country, is expected to affect our commercial activities. This study will examine the purpose and objectives of the European Union Green Deal, focusing on the legislative changes implemented to achieve these goals. Particular attention will be given to the innovations introduced by the Green Deal in the regulations on emission monitoring, reporting, and verification as well as the emissions trading system in maritime trade. Consequently, the responsibilities imposed on actors in maritime transportation will be identified, and potential additional obligations that may arise in the future will be discussed.

 Paris İklim Değişikliği Anlaşması, küresel sıcaklık artışlarını belirli bir seviyede tutmayı hedefleyerek, imzalayıcı ülkelere çeşitli sorumluluklar yüklemektedir. Bu sorumlulukları yerine getirmek amacıyla Avrupa Birliği, 2019 yılında Yeşil Mutabakat politikasını açıklamıştır. Yeşil Mutabakat, 2050 yılına kadar iklim nötr kıta olma hedefiyle bir dizi mevzuat değişikliğini içermektedir. 2023 itibarıyla, uluslararası ticaretin en önemli aktörlerinden biri olan denizcilik sektörü de bu mutabakatın kapsamına alınmıştır. Yürürlüğe giren ilgili mevzuat sonucunda, deniz taşımacılığının çevresel yükümlülükleri artmış ve bu yükümlülüklere uymayanlara çeşitli yaptırımlar uygulanacağı belirtilmiştir. Bu mevzuat değişikliği yalnızca Avrupa Birliğindeki denizcilik firmalarını değil, aynı zamanda Avrupa Birliği limanlarına uğrayacak yabancı bayraklı gemileri de kapsamaktadır. Türkiyenin Avrupa Birliği ile olan uluslararası ticari ilişkisi göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ülkemiz için son derece önemli olan bu mevzuat değişikliğinin, ticari faaliyetlerimizi etkilemesi beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Birliği Yeşil Mutabakatının amacı ve hedefleri incelenecek, bu amaçlara ulaşmak için uygulanan mevzuat değişiklikleri üzerinde durulacak ve Yeşil Mutabakatın deniz ticaretine getirdiği emisyon izleme, raporlama ve doğrulama mevzuatına ve emisyon ticaret sistemi mevzuatına getirdiği yenilikler tartışılacaktır. Böylece deniz taşımacılığındaki aktörlere getirilen sorumluluklar belirlenecek ve ilerleyen zamanlardaki olası ek yükümlülükler tartışılacaktır.
