Abstract

World surface
temperature is increasin gradually. Pollutant gases released into the
atmosphere as a result of rapid population growth, urbanization and
industrialization create a greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. As a consequence
of the disappearance of the forest areas, the mechanisms to balance carbon
dioxide emissions are becoming dysfunctional. Climate change as a result of
this emerges as the most urgent problem of the world in global dimensions, and
the related events have begun to be evaluated with the security dimension as
well. In this context, global climate change is regarded as an environmental
security problem. However, the problem is addressed by different perspectives in
respect to traditional, common, human and ecological security approaches. This
study therefore aims to examine the security implications of the global climate
change, and study the security approach that can present the most appropriate
perspective to solve the problem. In order to analyze these aspects, a
thorough literature review was conducted, including scientific books, articles,
theses; and internet resources.

KÜRESEL İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ VE GÜVENLİK

Abstract

Öz

Dünya yüzeyindeki sıcaklık gittikçe artmaktadır. Hızlı nüfus
artışı, kentleşme ve sanayileşme sonucunda atmosfere bırakılan kirletici gazlar
atmosferde sera etkisi yaratmaktadır. Ormanlık alanların yok olması sonucunda
karbondioksit salımını dengeleyecek mekanizmalar işlevsiz hale gelmektedir. Tüm
bunların sonucunda iklim değişikliği; küresel boyutlarda dünyanın en acil
sorunu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır ve söz konusu olaylar güvenlik boyutu ile
de değerlendirilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda küresel iklim değişikliği
çevresel bir güvenlik sorunu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte sorun
geleneksel, ortak, insani ve ekolojik güvenlik yaklaşımları bakımından farklı
bakış açılarıyla ele alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın gayesi; küresel ölçekte
yaşanan iklim değişikliği sorununun güvenlikle ilişkisinin incelenmesi ve
sorunun çözümüne yönelik en uygun bakış açısını sunabilen güvenlik yaklaşımının
araştırılmasıdır. Bu araştırmalar yapılırken; literatür taraması yöntemine
başvurulmuş; bilimsel kitaplardan, makalelerden, tezlerden ve internet
kaynaklarından yararlanılmıştır.
