Abstract

Urbanization and CO2 emissions have become major environmental concerns that are closely related to climate change and sustainable economic growth. The goal of this paper is to investigate the long-run relationship between CO2 emissions, urbanization, and achieving sustainable development in Turkey from 1990 to 2020. The STIRPAT hypothesis and the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis are employed in the article. The findings indicate that there is a long-run relationship between the variables of the STIRPAT model: the coefficient of economic activities and urbanization affects CO2 emission positively. This means that urbanization and the expansion of economic activity have a significant impact on environmental degradation. These results are also confirmed by the N-shaped Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) that is detected for Turkey.

城市化与气候变化:土耳其环境库兹涅茨曲线(EKC)和STIRPAT分析

城市化和二氧化碳排放已成为与气候变化和可持续经济增长密切相关的主要环境问题。本文的目标是研究1990年至2020年土耳其二氧化碳排放、城市化和实现可持续发展之间的长期关系。本文采用STIRPAT假设和环境库兹涅茨曲线(EKC)假设。研究结果表明，STIRPAT模型变量之间存在长期关系，经济活动系数和城市化系数对CO2排放有正向影响。这意味着城市化和经济活动的扩大对环境退化有重大影响。这些结果也被土耳其检测到的n形环境库兹涅茨曲线(EKC)所证实。
