20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı toplumsal algıların ve hakim ideolojilerin değiştiği siyaseten değişimlerin yaşandığı küresel bir dünyada, geçiş dönemi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bireysel kimliklerin ön plana çıktığı bu dönemde, modernleşme ve küreselleşme süreçlerinin de etkisiyle birey taleplerinde ve toplum ihtiyaçlarında görülen değişikliklere geleneksel siyaset bir cevap üretemeyince değişimler yaşanmıştır. Çalışmanın temel konularından biri olan çevrenin de bu dönemde siyaset ile temas ettiğini görmekteyiz. Bu temas sonucu ortaya çıkan gündemler ilk başta kapitalist değerlere muhalefet olarak görülmüşse de sonrasında liberal düşünce içerisinde kendisine bir yer bulmuştur. Çevre ile liberal düşüncenin teması, bir uzlaşı çabası olarak ifade edilen yeşil liberalizm kavramını ortaya çıkartmıştır. Bu çalışma çevre hareketinin siyasallaşma sürecine değinerek yeşil liberalizm adlı oluşum şekli ile ilgili olarak bir çerçeve çizecektir. Nitel araştırma yönteminin benimsendiği çalışmada, betimleyici literatür taraması yapılmış; çevre hareketlerinin ideolojik bir dönüşüm yaratarak siyasette nasıl yeniden konumlandığı ortaya konmuştur.

The second half of the 20th century appears as a transitional period in a global context marked by changes in social perceptions, dominant ideologies, and political transformations. In this era, where individual identities came to the forefront, traditional politics failed to respond to the evolving demands of individuals and the changing needs of society, influenced by modernization and globalization processes. One of the central themes of this study is the observation that environmental issues also began to intersect with politics during this period. Although the agendas emerging from this interaction were initially seen as opposition to capitalist values, they eventually found a place within liberal thought. The interaction between environmental concerns and liberal ideology led to the emergence of the concept of Green Liberalism, which can be interpreted as an effort toward reconciliation. This study aims to outline a framework regarding the political trajectory of the environmental movement and the formation of Green Liberalism. Adopting a qualitative research method, the study conducts a descriptive literature review and reveals how environmental movements have produced an ideological transformation and been repositioned within the political sphere.
