The article examines how CO2 emissions in Turkey are linked to economic activities, energy use, and management practices from 1980 to 2021. The researchers found that as the economy grows and energy consumption increases, CO2 emissions also rise. This suggests that expanding economic activities and using more energy can harm the environment. The study also identified a specific pattern, the N-shaped environmental Kuznets curve, showing how environmental impact changes as a country develops. Overall, the research highlights the importance of considering energy efficiency and sustainable practices to reduce CO2 emissions and protect the environment.
