Turkiye’s Share of the Global Carbon Budget: An Evaluation with Forecasting Scenarios
Abstract
The world ecosystem has started to deteriorate through industrialization since the 18th century. With the effects from global warming and climate change problems these days, the increase in greenhouse gas emissions naturally is not being absorbed. For this reason, agreements that shape climate policies such as the Paris Climate Accords, which aims to keep greenhouse gas emissions and global warming under certain limits, have come to the fore in recent years. The global carbon budget as cited in the Paris Climate Accords is defined as the balance between greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon sinks that absorb these emissions. This study attempts to examine Türkiye’s share in the global carbon budget using possible forecasting scenarios by evaluating the global carbon budgeting method. The study aims to analyze four different forecasting scenarios for Türkiye’s committed emissions for the period of 1990-2050. The study results show that should the amount of committed emissions be met with the proposed policy targets, Türkiye’s share in the global carbon budget will decrease and be able to reach the net zero carbon target.
