Today, the concept of a green economy, which has become more prominent thanks to the growing awareness of environmental problems, has a characteristic that cares about the environment, targets low carbon, targets efficiency in resource use and energy, prioritizes green employment within the scope of green jobs, aims sustainability in economic growth, and supports renewable energy and green technological steps. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between the concepts of the green economy and employment. For this purpose, the relationship between carbon emissions, employment rate, and gross domestic product is investigated using the Toda-Yamamoto causality test for the period 1990- 2020 in Türkiye. In the first step, the stationarity of the variables is analyzed with the Extended Dickey-Fuller and PhillipsPerron unit root tests. While the carbon emission variable is stationary at thislevel, the employment rate and gross domestic product variables are stationary at the first difference value. According to the results of the Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis, a unidirectional causal relationship was found between employment rate and carbon emissions. This result supports the idea that the increase in employment in the energy-intensive sector in Türkiye leads to an increase in carbon emissions. The result of this study draws attention to the importance of fully realizing the transformation in green employment.
