В настоящее время вопрос образования в контексте развития «зеленой» экономики является одной из актуальных глобальных задач.В исследовании показана взаимосвязь между выбросами CO2 и уровнем образования, представленным государственными расходами на образование в процентах от ВВП, а также экономическими и социальными показателями, такими как ВВП на душу населения, уровень урбанизации и инфляция на примере Казахстана и Турции. В исследовании использована методика прогнозирования, включающая применение регрессионной модели для определения взаимозависимости между изменениями в выбросах CO2, уровнем образования, а также экономическими и социальными параметрами. Для оценки влияния образования была построена модель множественной линейной регрессии, а также определены экологический след и экологический дефицит для двух исследуемых стран. В исследовании использована информация Сети данных экологического следа (Footprint Data Foundation).  Проведенное исследование дополняет существующую теоретическую базу по устойчивому развитию, предлагая междисциплинарный подход, объединяющий экономические, экологические и образовательные аспекты. Полученные результаты показывают, что образование и ВВП на душу населения оказывают существенное положительное влияние на снижение выбросов CO2 в Казахстане.  Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для обоснования необходимости интеграции экологических знаний в образовательные программы, а также для разработки более комплексных моделей взаимодействия факторов, влияющих на снижение углеродного следа.  Результаты исследования позволят предоставить эмпирические данные и анализ, которые могут быть полезны для разработки образовательных и экономических стратегий, более эффективных государственных программ направленных на снижение выбросов CO2, способствующих улучшению качества окружающей среды и продвижению «зеленого» роста.

Currently, the issue of education for the development of a ‘green’ economy is among the most pressing global challenges. In this context, this study explores the relationship between CO2 emissions and education levels, represented by government spending on education as a share of GDP, alongside economic and social indicators such as GDP per capita, urbanization ratio, and inflation rate. The analysis focuses on the cases of Kazakhstan and Turkey. The study used a forecasting methodology involving a regression model to determine the relationships between changes in CO2 emissions, educational attainment, and economic and social parameters. A multiple linear regression model was constructed to assess education’s impact, and the ecological footprint and ecological deficit for the two countries studied were determined. The study uses information from the Footprint Data Foundation (Footprint Data Foundation). The research complements the existing theoretical framework on sustainable development, offering an interdisciplinary approach combining economic, environmental and educational aspects. The results show that education and GDP per capita significantly positively impact reducing CO2 emissions in Kazakhstan. The results can be used to justify the need to integrate environmental knowledge into educational programs and to develop more comprehensive models of the interaction of factors affecting the reduction of the carbon footprint. From a practical point of view, the study’s results will provide empirical data and analysis that can be useful for developing educational and economic strategies and more effective government programs aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, improving environmental quality and promoting green growth.
