Abstract :The Green Theory, encompassing various approaches, in addition to green normative thinking and global political economy currents, emphasizes the safety and well-being of non-human living beings. The alignment of environmental legislation in candidate countries with EU environmental regulations not only benefits these countries in terms of their candidacy but also in many aspects such as quality of life. Türkiye, aspiring for full membership in the EU, has undergone legislative changes within the framework of the harmonization process, prioritizing environmental policies that promote development. This study evaluates Türkiye\'s EU harmonization process within the context of the Green Theory. Furthermore, considering Russia\'s occupation of Ukraine and global developments, the aim of the article is to methodologically assess Türkiye\'s relations with the EU in the framework of environmental compatibility.
