 The emission of air pollutants from energy production and consumption is a major cause of environmental problems. Additionally, urbanization and CO2 emissions have become major environmental concerns that are closely related to climate change and sustainable economic growth. This paper investigates the long-term relationship between CO2 emissions, energy consumption, economic activities, and management issues in Turkey over the period between 1980 and 2021. The study finds that there is a positive long-term relationship between variables of the Sturpat model, indicating that economic expansion and energy consumption have a positive effect on environmental degradation. Furthermore, the study confirms the existence of an environmental Kuznetz curve, EKC, showing that economic growth leads to increased CO2 emissions, while energy productivity can be used to decrease them. Finally, the study uses dynamic conditional correlation, DCC, to show that economic growth has a significant impact on CO2 emissions.
