Abstract

The irreversible type of consumption of the natural resources after Industrial Revolution and the rapid growth after World War 2 have had negative effects on environment; and the counterrelation between development and environment was clearly revealed. Today, one of the most primary problems that prevent the success of sustainable development is the climate change. Excessive climate events directly affect the socio-economic factors; and they have a negative impact on the productivity of labor force, GDP and sustainable development. The aim of this study is to measure and analyze the relative total activities in terms of greenhouse gas emission during the countries' economic activities; which is one of the most important factors for the realization of climate events. This study begins by explaining the concepts used in one of the methods used in measuring the efficiency of countries, data enveloping analysis (DEA); then detailed information is provided about the CCR models used in DEA. Finally, the efficiency of top 50 economies in the world in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are ranked by using input oriented CCR models.
