The Paradigm of Sustainability In Turkey's Energy Sector - Energy Sources, Part B: Economics, Planning, and Policy

"The Paradigm of Sustainability In Turkey's Energy Sector
Author: K. Kaygusuza

Abstract
The concept of sustainability can be a way to understand the dynamics of reality and to consider not only the economic growth but also the social, environmental and cultural aspects of development. This new paradigm questions the role of nature as an instrument only to satisfy human needs and brings into consideration the rational use of natural resources through responsible environmental policies keeping in mind the needs of future generations. Economic growth, considered as the notion of progress, brings intrinsically not only the extensive nature of exploitation but also the intensification of energy use."
