Abstract: Abstract Environmental sustainability is among the visions of Türkiye as a developing country. In this context, the present study analyzes the period of 1990–2020. We employ Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Canonical Co-integrating Regression (CCR) methods for long-term estimation results. The main findings of this study show that: (1) Shadow economy, rising public debt, per capita income growth, unemployment, and energy efficiency measures contribute to improvements in environmental quality. (2) Financialization and access to credit lead to environmental deterioration. (3) The Environmental Phillips Curve hypothesis is valid for Türkiye. (4) Energy efficiency policies should be sustained to enhance environmental quality, and green finance practices should be expanded.
