KARBON FİYATLANDIRMASINDAN ELDE EDİLEN GELİRLERİN KULLANIMI VE ETKİNLİĞİ.

Carbon pricing, which is widely implemented by many governments as an effective tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low carbon economy, not only reduces carbon emissions, but also provides significant income to governments. Nowadays, the question of what purpose and how governments use revenues from carbon pricing and whether the use of revenues makes an additional contribution to reducing emissions is a special importance. The aim of this study is to analyze the usage areas of the revenues obtained from carbon pricing, the suitability and effectiveness of these income usage areas for the environmental purpose of carbon pricing. In this study, the use of carbon revenues is discussed under five headings: tax reduction, allocation to the general budget, prevention of climate change, direct transfer and financing of development. Although there are generally legal and political restrictions on the use of carbon revenues, there is no consensus on the use of income between governments. While some revenue uses contribute additionally to the reduction of emissions, some do not contribute to the reduction of emissions and if there is transparency about how to use carbon revenues, both the public acceptability of carbon pricing and the effectiveness in revenue use will increase.
