Küresel ısınma, gıda/su krizi, çevre kirliliği ve sürdürülebilirlik konuları son dönemde oldukça önemli hale gelmiş, Birleşmiş Milletler'in Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri doğrultusunda çevre konusu oldukça ön plana çıkmıştır. Bunun sonucunda bu alanda önemli bir literatür oluşmuştur. Konu hakkındaki literatür incelendiğinde çevre için genellikle çevre kirliliğini temsil eden karbondioksit emisyonunun kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ancak söz konusu değişken çevre konusunu bir bütün olarak ele almaktan oldukça uzaktır. Bu nedenle son dönem çalışmalarında ekolojik ayak izinin kullanılmaya başlandığı görülmektedir. Mevcut çalışmada Türkiye için 1990-2018 döneminde gelir eşitsizliği ve ticari açıklığın ekolojik ayak izi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda iki farklı ARDL modeli oluşturularak analiz yapılmıştır. İlk modelde, eşitsizlik ve nüfus artışının ekolojik ayak izini düşürdüğü, gıda üretim endeksinin ise artırdığı görülmüştür. Ticari açıklık ise anlamsızdır. İkinci modelde ise, gelir eşitsizliği ve ticari açıklık ekolojik ayak izini düşürürken, GSYİH, yenilenebilir enerji ve nüfusun ekolojik ayak izini artırdığı bulunmuştur.
