Özet

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the eco-innovation indicators of Turkey and to determine eco-innovation efficiency. Turkey has a better position in some of the components of the Eco-IS Index than the EU countries that are known for catching up. However, in some components, Turkey lags behind these countries. Eco-innovation activities in Turkey decreased significantly in recent years and moving away from active status. To increase the eco-innovation performance and to get ahead of the mean of Eco-IS components for EU countries, Turkey needs to increase the proportion of researchers and public spending in research and development.
