More research in recent years has highlighted that the climate crisis is a consequence of the immense release of carbon emissions due to human activities. The negative side of the climate crisis is that it has led to severe environmental problems around the globe, which has negatively affected urban settings. Environmental-sensitive planning approaches can help reduce carbon emissions. One effective way to do that is reducing the energy use in cities and gaining the human behavior to become carbon-neutral. On a global scale, international agreements drawing a framework for carbon emissions, such as the Green Deal, reveal the need to look at the situation both environmentally and economically. Therefore, the main aim should be to achieve sustainable green growth by decoupling economic pressure on the environment. There are development projects with the decoupling aim. These projects need funds or grants to be implemented and disseminated. Since state supports are not sufficient throughout the world, private investments should be expanded by creating a market value for these projects. In this respect, green bonds, a green finance instrument, can be a catalyst for this market. Therefore, how these projects and green bonds can be integrated should be sought. Both of these concepts, green bond and decoupling projects, need monitoring and evaluation, so they can combine to work together via M&E tools. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate how the green finance module can be integrated into the monitoring and evaluation systems, including decoupling projects in the planning process. In this context, The Carbon Emission Atlas and Expert System (KAUS) in the GAP Region, conducted by the METU Built Environment and Design Application and Research Center (YTM-MATPUM), has been examined. Also, it has been discussed how green bond can be integrated into this monitoring and evaluation process and what the problems are against this integration.

Sustainability Assessments of Urban Railway Systems: Case Study Evaluations in Turkey YÜKSEL, MÜGE; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Springer, 2019-01-01) There are ongoing efforts to control global warming via reducing CO2 emissions, which are mostly based on human activities. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) carbon footprint (CFP) calculations provide a clear picture of embodied carbon (EC). In this study, the significance of EC estimation and reduction for railway projects are explored. The main motivation is having applicable sustainability strategies for railway systems in Turkey. Since there is no certification system, range or database, these effort...

Green Roof as an Element of Green Infrastructure and Inferences for Implementations in Turkey Göç Yener, Ünzile; Gedikli, Bahar; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Earth System Science (2021-9) With the transformation of natural areas into impermeable surfaces such as roads and buildings, the effects of climate change have been observed more frequently in the last decades. Some examples are natural disasters such as extreme heat waves, floods and forest fires that have been observed worldwide. The concept of “green infrastructure”, which is defined as a network of natural and semi-natural areas, provides the maintenance of these areas, and offers their benefits to people. Green infrastructure crea...
MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A COMBINED SYSTEM OF MULTIPLE ROOFTOP PV SYSTEMS AND A CENTRAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR METU ANKARA CAMPUS Köker, Nesrin Irmak; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Earth System Science (2022-9-01) Climate change, increasing energy demand, and natural resource depletion lead to a rapid trend in the adaptation of renewable energy technologies. Especially solar energy as the most abundant source, accompanied by decreasing system prices and increasing social acceptance, rooftop photovoltaic systems became one of the most common small-scale energy generation practices. However, renewable energy resources, solar energy exclusively, create imbalanced energy production throughout the day and year. Energy sto...
Analyses on the Causality in Carbon Emission with respect to Economic Growth and Education ÜNLÜ, KAMİL DEMİRBERK; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-01-01) This paper investigates the association between the level of carbon emission (CO2), economic growth and scholarly education levels in the countries chosen according to some specific characteristics using multivariate time series approach. It considers the impact of GDP and education enrollment, as a proxy of human capital, on the level of CO2 for the countries classified according to their economic developments and regional distribution. The analyses are assessed in three different cases two of which consid...
