Trading Emissions, Property Rights And Environmental Protection
Environment is the area where living and non-living things live and are in contact with each other. Since people and everything they are in contact with are considered within the context of the environment, the protection of the environment is important for all living things. Everything in Islam is based on a balance. For this reason, individuals should not destroy this balance, but should make an effort to protect it. Our study deals with the issue of air pollution, which is a type of environmental pollution. Today, it is known that there are many attempts to solve environmental problems such as global warming and climate change. The Kyoto Protocol, which constitutes the starting point of our study, is one of the steps taken to solve environmental problems. This study, which deals with the “emissions trading” issue in the Kyoto Protocol within the framework of the property right in Islamic law, gives place to suggestions on what should be done about the environment in line with the results of the protocol. Some of these suggestions are that the understanding of responsibility should be developed on the basis of individuals and legal regulations should be made on the basis of institutions.
