Climate change has been on the global agenda since the 1970s and is now defined as a crisis whose effects are increasingly felt across the globe. Global climate action is shaped around mitigation and adaptation strategies. Unlike mitigation action in which similar efforts are taken at all scales to limit GHG emissions, adaptation action aims to build capacity to be able to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change and requires different approaches and technics varying from one place, one sector/institution, one community or one sphere of life to another. This requires making a classification of adaptation strategies. Besides environmental and institutional dimensions, this study is mainly going to focus on the social dimension of climate change adaptation policies of climate adaptation by explaining it with the notions of social vulnerability and climate justice at the urban scale. The main purpose is to evaluate climate adaptation policies and actions and to state whether these policies and actions address social vulnerability. In this context, this thesis will involve the assessment of climate change adaptation policies of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality with regard to social vulnerability and climate justice.
