Sustainability, Greenhouse Gas Emission, Sectoral Sustainability, EnvironmentAbstract
Sustainability, which is the process of recovering and redesigning natural resources and protecting natural areas, covers many social, environmental, and economic factors. Sustainability, which has become an important agenda item in recent years, creates many advantages by bringing new trends for all sectors. In this study, the sustainability of greenhouse gas emissions in Turkey in total and for each sector is investigated for the period 1990-2022. Unit root tests were utilized as a method to determine the sustainability. According to the findings, GHG emissions for industrial processes and product use and waste sectors are found to be sustainable. The sectoral sources of unsustainable greenhouse gas emissions in Turkey are the energy and agriculture sectors.
