Abstract

Climate change, changing our world, needs inevitably global cooperation in order to slow down especially CO2 emissions coming from fossil fuel use. Because of global warming, all countries pay for the costs to mitigate the CO2 emissions and bear the burden of adaptation. But, past emissions coming from developed countries, as a source of climate injustice is one of the main barriers before global cooperation at the climate change negotiations. For this reason, it is possible to argue that a global carbon tax,having some advantages, such as tax revenues transferable to developing countries for climate justice, may be an important key to open a gate to reach a global agreement more successful than the Kyoto Protocol in the near future

KÜRESEL İŞBİRLİĞİ SORUNU VE KÜRESEL KARBON VERGİSİ

Abstract

Dünyamızı etkileyen iklim değişikliği, özellikle fosil yakıt kullanımından kaynaklanan CO2 salımını yavaşlatabilmek amacıyla, kaçınılmaz olarak küresel işbirliği ihtiyacını ortaya koymaktadır. Tüm ülkelerin CO2 salımının azaltılması ile küresel ısınmaya uyum maliyetlerine katlanması gerekmektedir. Ancak, iklim değişikliğine ilişkin müzakerelerde, gelişmiş ülkeler tarafından geçmişte salınan gazlar, ülkeler arasındaki adaletsizliğin kaynağı olarak, küresel işbirliğinin önündeki önemli engellerden birisini oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle, sağlayacağı hasılatın adaletin sağlanabilmesi amacıyla gelişmekte olan ülkelere aktarılabilmesi gibi avantajları sayesinde, küresel çapta uygulanacak karbon vergisinin yakın gelecekte Kyoto Protokolü’nden daha başarılı bir küresel anlaşmaya varılabilmesi bakımından önemli bir araç olabi- leceğini ileri sürmek mümkündür.

Keywords
