Bu çalışma, 1971'den 2021'e kadar yıllık verileri kullanarak Türkiye'de karbondioksit (CO2) emisyonları, ekonomik büyüme, enerji kullanımı ve sanayileşme arasındaki kısa ve uzun vadeli ve nedensel bağlantıları incelemektedir. Makalede eş bütünleşme otoregresif dağıtılmış gecikme (ARDL) modeli kullanılmaktadır. Değişkenler arasında uzun vadeli bir bağlantının varlığını gösteren ve ekonomik büyüme, enerji kullanımı ve sanayileşmenin tahmin edilen uzun vadeli katsayısı, CO2 emisyonlarında sırasıyla -0,726, 0,563 ve 0,548 değişim duyarlılığı sergiler. Hata düzeltme terimi -0,563'tür ve eş bütünleşme-ARDL modeli altında %1 anlamlılık düzeyinde anlamlıdır; bu da değişkenler arasındaki uzun vadeli dengeden sapmaların düzeltme yoluyla yıllık neredeyse %56,3 oranında giderilebileceğini göstermektedir. Başka bir deyişle uyum katsayılarının hızı, dengesizlik oluştuğunda ayarlamaların dengeye dönmesinin neredeyse 2 yıl sürdüğünü göstermektedir. Toda ve Yamamoto (1995) nedensellik testi sanayileşmeden karbon emisyonlarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bulgu, sanayileşmenin Türkiye'de çevre kalitesine zarar verdiğini; bu nedenle Türkiye'nin sürdürülebilir endüstriyel kalkınmaya öncelik vermesi ve yeşil teknolojileri benimsemesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.

This study examines the short and long-run and causative interconnections between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, economic growth, energy use, and industrialization in Türkiye using yearly data from 1971 to 2021. The paper employs the cointegration autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, which indicates the presence of a long-run nexus between the variables and the estimated long-run coefficient of economic growth, energy use, and industrialization exhibit a sensitivity of -0.726, 0.563, and 0.548 changes in CO2 emissions respectively. The error-correction term is -0.563 and significant at a 1% significance level under the cointegration-ARDL model, suggesting that the deviations from the long-run equilibrium between the variables will be addressed through correction by almost 56.3% yearly. In other words, the speed of adjustment coefficients indicates that when disequilibrium occurs, adjustments returning to equilibrium take almost two years. The Toda and Yamamoto (1995) causality test indicates a unidirectional causal link from industrialization to CO2 emissions. This finding implies that industrialization harms environmental quality in Türkiye; therefore, Türkiye must prioritize sustainable industrial development and embrace green technologies.
