Today, environmental pollution is one of the primary problems that requires a global solution. One of the solution proposals that emerged as a result of national and international studies on reducing environmental pollution is environmental taxes. Activities that cause pollution and other environmental damage are taxed within the scope of the environmental taxes, which aim to reduce environmental damage. Thus, it is aimed to reduce the externalities caused by human activities through taxes and to shift the activities to sustainable areas that are sensitive to the environment. Environmental taxes, one of the policies developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and one of the primary sources of climate change and environmental pollution, are widely applied. This study mainly examines the relationship between carbon emissions, a global problem caused by human activities, and environmental taxes. The study aims to determine the relationship between environmental taxes on carbon emissions in the short and long-term using the ARDL bounds test approach over the annual data of 1994-2021 in Türkiye. The study’s empirical results show that environmental taxes reduce carbon emissions, while globalization and energy consumption increase carbon emissions. However, the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions is statistically insignificant.
