Yirmi birinci yüzyıla damgasını vuran sürdürülebilirlik, küresel ekonomi politikalarını ve yatırım stratejilerini önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Kapitalizmin var olduğu süreçten çevresel bilincin arttığı 1970’lere kadar olan sürece damgasını vuran doğrusal ekonomi yaklaşımı, Covid-19’un yarattığı ekonomik daralmayla tamamen sekteye uğramış, yerini döngüsel ekonomi yaklaşımına bırakmıştır. Bu bağlamda 2019 yılında yayınlanan Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatı, küresel çevresel hedefleri ekonominin merkezine koyan ve böylece kaynakların verimli kullanımını artırmayı amaçlayan bir döngüsel ekonomi yol haritasıdır. Avrupa Birliği Komisyonu, aynı yıl döngüsel ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel hedefleriyle uyumlu olarak finansal sistemini de entegre edecek şekilde AB Taksonomisini kabul etmiştir. AB Taksonomisi, AB finansal piyasa araçlarına getirdiği kurallarla küresel finansal piyasalarda çevreyle uyumlu/uyumsuz faaliyetleri ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Aynı zamanda Taksonomi, sürdürülebilir döngüsel faaliyetlerle uyumsuz ekonomik faaliyetlerin neden olduğu işlem maliyetlerini, yeşil aklamayı, bilgi asimetrisini gidermeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Doğrusal Ekonomi, Döngüsel Ekonomi, Sürdürülebilir Ekonomik Büyüme, Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatı, AB Taksonomisi.

ASSESSMENTS ON THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL AND EU TAXONOMY

Öz

The sustainable development perspective, that left its mark on the 21st century, has significantly affected global economic policies and investment strategies. The linear economy approach, which left its mark on the process from the existence of capitalism to the 1970s, when environmental awareness increased, was completely interrupted by the economic contraction created by the Covid-19 process and left its place to circular economies. In this context, the European Green Deal published in 2019 is a circular economy roadmap that puts global environmental goals at the center of the economy and thus aims to increase the efficient use of resources. In the same year, the European Commission adopted the EU Taxonomy to integrate its financial system in line with its cyclical economic, social and environmental targets. EU Taxonomy aims to reveal environmentally compatible-incompatible activities in global financial markets with the rules it brings to EU financial market instruments. At the same time, Taxonomy aims to eliminate transaction costs, green laundering and information asymmetry caused by economic activities incompatible with sustainable cyclical activities.
