NEXUS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN AVIATION SECTOR, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND URBANIZATION: A STUDY ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL KUZNETS CURVE

Summary/Abstract: The increase in the commercial relations of the countries in the global economy has caused the rapid development of various industries. The aviation sector is one of these industries. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), it expects its emissions from the aviation sector to approximately triple by 2050. Carbon emissions in the transportation sector increase climate change concerns in institutions and organizations on a micro and macro basis. In recent years, especially in EU countries, policy steps have been taken to reduce the emissions caused by some sectors. In this context, environmental management policies of institutions and organizations in the aviation sector come to the fore. The aim of the study period 1990-2018 carbon emissions resulting from the aviation sector for Turkey (CO2) is examined in the context of the environmental Kuznets hypothesis. According to the findings obtained from the empirical analysis, it has been determined that there is a quadric relationship between per capita income and carbon emission. According to this result, it is estimated that the per capita income increases the CO2 emissions from the aviation sector and decrease after a certain threshold point ($ 27265). These results Environmental Kuznets Curve for Turkey in the period under review shows that the hypothesis is valid. Finally, it has been found that urbanization has a positive effect on CO2 emissions.
