Research on climate change has intensified on a global scale as evidence on the costs of global warming continues to accumulate. Confronted with such evidence, the European Union set in late 2006 an ambitious target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, by 2020, to 20% below the level of 1990; and invited the rest of the developed economies and the developing world to take part with the Kyoto Protocol. Turkey is the only country that appears in the Annex-I list of the United Nations' Rio Summit and yet an official target for CO2 emission reductions has still not been established. Thus, as part of its accession negotiations with the EU, Turkey will likely to face significant pressures to introduce its national plan on climate change along with specific emission targets and the associated abatement policies.

The role of local governments in clima techange adaptation: achievements and barriers in the turkish case Özdemir Eroğlu, Gülin.; Balaban, Osman; Department of Earth System Science (2019) Global warming is manifesting visible consequences at regional and local scales. Cities are considered among major contributors of climate change while also being a victim of it. It is vital to anticipate the adverse impacts of climate change in cities and take appropriate actions to prevent or minimize the damage they may be exposed. The Mediterranean Basin, in which Turkey is located, is one of the regions with the highest vulnerability to climate change. Turkey’s First National Communication on Climate C...
Adaptation to Climate Change Barriers in the Turkish Local Context Balaban, Osman (2015-11-01) Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges that we face today. A certain level of climate change is now unavoidable. Along with mitigation efforts to curb further global warming, we have to take actions to adapt to the changing climatic conditions. Cities are on the front lines of climate change impacts. Therefore, the role of cities in climate change adaptation has been widely acknowledged in the last two decades. There are various obstacles that prevent city governments to develop adap...
Climate Change Adaptation in Serbia: The Role of Information Networks Stupar, Aleksandra; Mihajlov, Vladimir (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016-6-1) The importance of problems caused by global warming and increased GHG emissions have been recognised by the international community which responded to this challenge through a growing number of studies, agreements and policies dealing with climate change prevention, mitigation and adaptation. The shift to green economy is confirmed as the highest development aim, while establishing a balanced relationship between environmental policies, economic efficiency, technological upgrading and behavioural transition...
Changes in precipitation climatology for the Eastern Mediterranean using CORDEX RCMs, NHRCM and MRI-AGCM Mesta, Buket; Sasaki, Hidetaka; Nakaegawa, Tosiyuki; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2022-07-01) © 2022Mediterranean Basin is expected to be one of the regions most severely impacted by global climate change. However, the complex interactions of driving forces of climate in the region create a challenge for climate projections for the future. Findings from climate change studies support the inter-model and inter-regional variability of projections on climate change impacts. On the other hand, the studies on the evaluation of the simulation skills of high-resolution climate models for the region particu...
The Impact of transnational municipal networks on climate policy-making: the case study of Gaziantep, Nilufer and Seferihisar municipalities Bütün, Gülsün Duygu; Balaban, Osman; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2016) Climate change is accepted as a global threat, which requires global solutions. The climate policy has witnessed a growing involvement of municipalities over the past 20 years. Urban responses to climate change have become increasingly important when the reluctance of national governments and the failure of international negotiations since the early 2000s are considered. As a city-based initiative to address the climate problem, Transnational Municipal Networks (TMNs) have emerged in order to guide local go...
