1970s, the realization that an uncontrolled development process in which consumption was prioritized and the natural link between the environment and economic development were ignored led to the search for an environment- and climate-sensitive development plan in the EU. The principle of polluter pays, which started with the process of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and later included in the basic legislation of the EU, started to be implemented in the fight against climate change. In this study, the polluter pays principle, which is implemented within the scope of EU climate change policies, is discussed. The polluter pays principle; It will be discussed within the scope of the EU's fight against climate change and its role in the internalization of negative externalities caused by carbon (CO2) emissions will be discussed.

Öz

1970'li yıllarda tüketimin ön planda tutulduğu, çevre ile ekonomik kalkınma arasındaki doğal bağın göz ardı edildiği kontrolsüz bir kalkınma sürecinin farkına varılması, AB'de çevreye ve iklime duyarlı bir kalkınma planı arayışına yol açmıştır. BM İklim Değişikliği Çerçeve Sözleşmesi süreci ile başlayan ve daha sonra AB temel mevzuatına dahil edilen kirleten öder ilkesi, bu kapsamda uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, AB iklim değişikliği politikaları kapsamında uygulanan kirleten öder ilkesi ele alınmaktadır. Kirleten öder ilkesi; AB'nin iklim değişikliği ile mücadelesi kapsamında ele alınacak ve karbon (CO2) emisyonlarının neden olduğu negatif dışsallıkların içselleştirilmesindeki rolü tartışılacaktır.
