Abstract:

The damage born on global warming caused by environmental pollution is remarkable. As a matter of fact, today, with the mucilage problem in our seas, streams, lakes, etc. as a result of droughts in wetlands, there is an increase in animal deaths. However, the loss of diversity in natural vegetation and animal species, improper irrigation practices in agricultural areas, and most importantly, the ineffectiveness of waste management and environmental pollution caused by industrial leaks seriously threaten natural life. In addition, the damage caused by the lack of follow-up in fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions to nature makes the sustainability of livable areas in the world difficult. For this reason, the methods of combating global climate change and the measures taken by the countries are taken into account in this study. In addition, measures regarding climate change applied in European Union countries and carbon tax rates applied in EU member countries are examined. Although it is implemented in many EU countries, carbon tax is not yet applied in Turkey. As a matter of fact, in the study, various suggestions are made for the implementation of the carbon tax in Turkey.
