Özet
Tax policies play a significant role in achieving environmental protection and sustainable development goals. Environmentally sensitive taxation methods are implemented to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Such taxation policies contribute to the conservation of natural resources and increase environmental awareness and responsibility. This article aims to identify the long-term effects of environmental taxes, urban population growth, and renewable energy consumption on the ecological footprint in Türkiye, given the importance of the subject. Therefore, in this study, the ecological footprint, which is the most important indicator of environmental degradation, was used as the dependent variable, while environmental tax, urban population growth rate, and renewable energy were used as independent variables. The stationarity of the variables in the analysis was tested with the ADF and PP unit root tests, and whether the variables were related in the long term was investigated with the Johansen cointegration test. According to the long-term FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR estimation results obtained after determining the cointegration relationship, a negative relationship was found between the ecological footprint variable and environmental taxes and renewable energy, while a positive relationship was found between the ecological footprint and urban population growth. These findings indicate that environmental taxes and the use of renewable energy are effective in reducing the ecological footprint, while urban population growth may disrupt ecological balance. Therefore, the effectiveness of environmental policies should be increased, and strategies related to urban population growth should be developed.
