Öz

İhtiyatlılık ilkesinin savunucuları onu belirsiz çevre riskleriyle
ilgilenmede bütün düzeylerde çevreyi korumanın kılavuzu olarak kabul ederken;
karşıtları ilkenin formülasyonu, aplikasyonu ve yasal statüsü gibi çeşitli
yönlerine ilişkin birçok soruna işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmada ihtiyatlılık
ilkesinin lehinde ve aleyhinde temel argümanlar ele alınmıştır. Belirsiz
durumlarda çevreye ilişkin kararlarları almayı yönlendirebilmesi için ilkenin
daha fazla rafine edilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

İhtiyatlılık ilkesi, bilimsel belirsizlik, çevre politikası
