Abstract :Recently, the increase in global warming and the spread of greenhouse gases is a major concern. The use of fossil fuels plays an important role in greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuels are primarily used in the transportation sector. Road transport plays a critical role in the transportation sector. This study analyzed carbon dioxide emissions from transport in a specific region. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions from transport in this region, called the Black Sea region, was analyzed from 2013 to 2022. As a result, it was determined that the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the region has gradually increased at an alarming level.
