摘要

Türkiye is one the world’s biggest textile producers, and its industrial growth is closely linked to growing concerns about environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between the Textile & Clothing (T&C) industry, economic growth, renewable energy, technological innovation, and Carbon (CO2) emissions in Türkiye from 1990 to 2022. This study employs Quantile-on-Quantile (QQ) and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models to examine the effect in short and long run. The results show that the T&C industry and economic growth have a significant impact on the level of CO2 emissions, thus proving that industrialization and economic growth are factors that cause environmental degradation. On the other side, technology and implementation of renewable energy sources are central in preventing emissions as they will promote better clean-energy productivity. The QQ regressions have also indicated that these relations are not homogeneous in different levels of CO2 emission, warranting the need to have calibrated policy intervention in the country. The current study presents new information on the environmental impact of the T&C industry in Türkiye, which has received insufficient consideration in previous studies. The analysis highlights the essential role of the industrial sector in the development of CO2 emissions and provides new insights into the further progress of the Sustainable Development Goals.
