Abstract:

 This study examines the impact of foreign direct investment FDI on carbon emissions CO₂ in BRICS-T countries. In recent years, as globalization has accelerated, developing countries in particular have sought to stimulate economic growth by encouraging foreign investment. However, the impact of these investments on environmental sustainability remains unclear. Using panel data analysis, the study examined the period from 2000 to 2020 and concluded that FDI increases CO₂ emissions. This finding is consistent with the Pollution Paradise Hypothesis, indicating that developing countries inadequate environmental regulations lead to higher carbon emissions. Policy recommendations emphasize the need to strengthen environmental regulations, encourage green technology transfer, and increase sustainable investments.

 Bu çalışma, BRICS-T ülkelerinde doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarının DYY karbon emisyonları CO2 üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Küreselleşmenin hız kazandığı son yıllarda, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler yabancı yatırımları teşvik ederek ekonomik büyümeyi hedeflemektedir. Ancak bu yatırımların çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki etkisi belirsizdir. Çalışmada panel veri analizi yöntemi kullanılarak 2000-2020 dönemi incelenmiş ve DYYnin CO₂ emisyonlarını artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgu, özellikle Kirlilik Cenneti Hipotezi ile uyumlu olup, gelişmekte olan ülkelerin çevresel düzenlemelerinin yetersizliği nedeniyle daha fazla karbon emisyonuna yol açtığını göstermektedir. Politika önerileri kapsamında, çevresel düzenlemelerin güçlendirilmesi, yeşil teknoloji transferinin teşvik edilmesi ve sürdürülebilir yatırımların artırılması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.
