CARBON EMISSIONS FORECAST FOR TURKEY: TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

Abstract

Within the context of sustainable development objectives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that cause clirnate change was first discussed and officially negotiated at the 1992 Rio Conference, which particularly ernphasised developed countries to take serious measures. Then, it was followed by the Kyoto Protocol, which specified national ghg ernission reduction targets for developed countries. With Kyoto Protocol, it was decided for these countries to reduce global ernissions by %5 below 1990 levels compared to 2008-2012 emission levels. Turkey becarne a party to the Kyoto Protocol in 2009, yet due to their special circumstances they did not take any emission reduction cornmitrnents .. Negotiations on Post-2012 emission reduction obligations are stili in progress under the UNFCCC urnbrella and it is expected to have ernissiorı reduction targets not only by developed countries but also by developing ones. In this regard, it is irnportant for Turkey to estirnate its future ghg emissions. There are various ghg ernission estirnations for 2020 and the results indicate different ernission levels. Objective of this study is to estirnate ghg ernission levels far Turkey far 2020 and afterwards by using time series and regression analysis. Then, appropriote policy implications are discussed with the result of these findings.
