Öz

Çevresel kalite, küresel ölçekte sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmada kritik bir unsur olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, CO₂ emisyonlarının belirleyicilerini ekonomik büyüme, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı, kentleşme, ticaret açıklığı ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar çerçevesinde incelemektedir. Yöntem olarak, k-ortalama kümeleme ile panel kantil regresyonun birlikte kullanılmıştır, böylelikle mevcut literatüre özgün bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşım sayesinde, farklı emisyon düzeylerine sahip ülke gruplarında bağımsız değişkenlerin heterojen etkileri ayrıntılı biçimde analiz edilmekte ve yalnızca ortalama etkilerin ötesine daha derinlemesine bulgular elde edilmektedir. Panel kantil regresyon sonuçları, her bir bağımsız değişkenin CO₂ emisyonları üzerindeki etkisinin, ülkelerin benzerliklerine göre oluşturulmuş kümeler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, CO₂ emisyonlarının azaltılmasına yönelik enerji politikaları ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma stratejilerinin önemini vurgulamakta ve politika yapıcılara yeni bir perspektif sunmaktadır.
