Okyanus Kirliliğine Karşı Yeni Bir Finansal Yöntem: Mavi Tahviller

Öz

Üretim ve tüketim döngüsü üzerine kurulu yaşamsal faaliyetler sonucu ortaya çıkan kirlilik yayılımı, ekosistemi tehdit etmektedir. Kirliliği önleme ve sürdürülebilirlik için uluslararası önleyici politikalar üzerine uzlaşılmıştır. Ancak, ülkelerin ekonomik çıkarları öne sürülerek yapılan anlaşmalara uyulmamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, yeni yöntemler ve alternatif politikalar üretilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çevre koruma sürecinde alternatif politika olarak önemli bir yer edinen tematik tahvillerin yeni bir türü olan mavi tahvillerin ortaya çıkış süreci, gelişimi ve geleceğinin irdelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma, doküman analizi tekniğiyle oluşturulmuş verilere dayalı nitel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Mavi tahvillerin, kamu ve özel sektör tarafından kullanımına yönelik öngörülerin de ele alındığı bu çalışmada çevre koruma sürecinde finansal yöntem olarak mavi tahvillerin kullanımının yaygınlaşmasının beklendiği, okyanuslardaki biyoçeşitliliği korumaya katkı sunacağı, küresel sürdürülebilirlik hedefleri için önemli bir role sahip olacağı ve okyanus ekonomisi ülkelerin ekonomilerinin devamlılığına katkı sunacağı bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.

A New Financial Method Against Ocean Pollution: Blue Bonds

Öz

The spread of pollution, which occurs as a result of vital activities based on the production and consumption cycle, threatens the ecosystem.
