Impact of Environmental Degradation on Ecosystems and Preventive Measures, Melford MBEDZI,Sithembile INNOCENTIA NKOSI,David OLUSOJI ALABI, Editör, IGI Global yayınevi, Pennsylvania, ss.93-133, 2025
Türkiye's limited use of renewable energy increases reliance on fossil fuels, widening the trade deficit and heightening energy security risks. This dependency also restricts economic growth, job creation, and worsens environmental damage due to higher carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This study examines the impact of renewable and non- renewable energy consumption (REC and NREC) on CO2 emissions in Türkiye from 1965 to 2023, using the asymmetric bootstrap nonlinear cointegration test. Results show that, in the long term, NREC significantly raises CO2 emissions more than REC, while in the short term, only NREC affects emissions. Based on these findings and Türkiye's renewable energy potential, key policy implications are identified. In conclusion, increasing domestic renewable energy production is a vital solution for reducing the trade deficit and energy security risks, aligning with the broader goal of a low- carbon future.
