GREEN GROWTH, JUST TRANSITION AND DECENT WORKS IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMBATTING CLIMATE CHANGE

Öz:

Traditional economic growth models damage natural resources to which humanity depends, causing important environmental,socialandeconomicproblems,especiallyclimate change. Today, it is understood by countries that a new growth approach should be applied in order to ensure the sustainableuseofscarcenaturalresources,combatting negative effects of climate change and reduce poverty while realizing economic development. The view that environmentally friendly investments aren’t cost effective is changingandcountrieswanttotakeadvantageoftheopportunities offered by green growth. However, this process also requires a just transition. The aim of this study is to evaluategreengrowth,justtransitionanddecentworkconceptsinthecontextofsustainabledevelopmentandcombatting climate change. In the study, it is concluded that if green growth and just transition processes are well managed, they provide significant opportunities for realizing UN-SDGs, combatting climate change and the creation of decent works.

Öz:

Geleneksel ekonomikbüyümemodelleriinsanlığınbağlıolduğu doğal kaynaklarazarar vermekte; iklim değişikliği başta olmak üzere önemli çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik sorunlaraneden olmaktadır. Günümüzde, ülkeler tarafından ekonomik kalkınmagerçekleştirirken;kıtdoğalkaynakların sürdürülebilir kullanımının sağlanması, iklim değişikliğinin olumsuzetkileriylemücadeleedilmesiveyoksulluğun azaltılmasıdoğrultusundayenibirbüyümeyaklaşımının uygulanması gerektiği anlaşılmış durumdadır. Çevre dostu yatırımların maliyet etkin olmadığıgörüşüdeğişmekteve ülkeler tarafındanyeşil büyümenin sunduğu fırsatlardan daha fazla yararlanılmak istenilmektedir. Ancak, bu süreç aynı zamanda adil bir dönüşümü gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı,sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve iklim değişikliğiilemücadele bağlamında yeşil büyüme, adil dönüşüm ve insana yakışır iş kavramlarını değerlendirmektir.
