The transportation sector is one of the most important sectors in which greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are the highest, thus causing the global warming problem to rise. One of the most effective and international solutions to this problem is considered to be a technology-oriented struggle, and the development of green technologies is encouraged by global authorities. The study aims to investigate the success of the technology-oriented struggle against global warming in the transport sector. In analyses, data on transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, the number of patents (transport-related climate change mitigation technologies), trade openness, and GDP per capita of 12 OECD countries years between 1999-2017 were used. To identify the long-run and short-run relationship among variables, the Cross-Sectional Autoregressive Distributed Lags Estimator (CSARDL) and also the Mean Group (MG), Augmented Mean Group (AMG), and Common Correlated Effects Mean Group Estimators (CCE) were applied. According to the estimators' findings, no evidence was found that the number of patents and trade openness affected greenhouse gas emissions, but it was determined that GDP positively affected greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, it can be said that the technology-oriented struggle against climate change in the transportation sector alone isn't sufficient to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions.

Controlling energy consumption is a serious environmental problem due to global warming and pollution. Feedback on electricity consumption is used as a tool for consumers to better control their consumption and ultimately save energy. As a matter of fact, limited motivation and lack of knowledge about consumption are the main obstacles for households to act on smart meter incentives. A comprehensive analysis of household-scale interventions and their emission reduction potential was found to be lacking, although policy decisions addressing climate change and all mitigation options for information were evaluated. Therefore, in the study, meta-analysis method was conducted using data from 43 studies to obtain precise estimates of the effect of different incentives on housing consumption. In the literature, it has been observed that monetary, informative and behavioral incentives can have an effect between 6.4% and 7.4% on the amount of consumption. The results of the meta-analysis show that personal feedback and monetary information are more effective in reducing consumption than real-time feedback and monetary incentives.

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a critical parameter in understanding the dynamics of oceanic and atmospheric systems and predicting future climate trends. In this study, we use data obtained from the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative, specifically from the Sea Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (SST CCI) project, to model SST in the Zonguldak and Bartın provinces using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) method. The dataset covers 40 years from 1981 to 2022 (longitude 31.25 and latitude 40.95) and includes an assessment of FMS trends and seasonal variations. The results show a slight but consistent increase in SST over the study period, with a mean squared error of 0.07.The changing SST trends in the Zonguldak and Bartın provinces have important implications for several industries and sectors, including fisheries and tourism. The results of this study can help inform decision- making in these areas as well as policy decisions pertaining to climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Our findings also provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the ARIMA methodfor modeling SST data and the potential limitations of the data obtained from the SST CCI project.

In the study, the impact of climate change and its possible future effects in the Kirazdere basin, one of the sub-basins of Yuvacık Dam, which is one of the important water resources of Kocaeli province, were tried to be determined. According to the results of Mann Kendall trend analysis, it was observed that the temperature was in an increasing trend after the 2000s, there was no significant trend in precipitation, and the flow data was in decreasing trend. It was determined that there was drought examined by the SPI analysis using the R Studio. The decrease in the water level of the dam lake was also observed with the drone images taken from the field during the field study. According to the results of the drought analysis obtained by the SPI method depending on the climate projections; It is predicted that there will be short and long-term droughts in the future in the basin, and it will become more severe after 2050. For this reason, in order to minimize water shortages, technologies for using water correctly should be made widespread within the scope of access to "Climate Action" and "Clean Water", which are included in the Sustainable Development Goals.

The devastating effects of climate change on a global scale continue to be seen more rapidly, more widely and more severely. Climate-related extreme weather events and disasters not only cause loss of life and property, but also affect environment and all living things, economies and social structure. The studies conducted by IPCC have demonstrated that said negative results will increasingly continue in the upcoming period has led to focus on the climate-resilient development approach, and to focus on urban areas where population, investments and economic activities are concentrated. In this direction, the aim of this study is to evaluate climate resilient development approach in the context of urbanization policy. In the study, it was concluded that biophysical, economic and social stress factors caused by climate change or worsened by the effects of climate change affect urban resilience and that climate resilient development approach, which integrates greenhouse gas reduction and climate change adaptation actions, provides an important window of opportunity in providing resilience against these stress factors. Another important result of study is that implementation of climate resilient development approach will provide appropriate environment for realization of other goals on the basis of Climate Action, the 13th of United Nations SDGs.

Increasing temperatures and their effects due to climate change have given urgency to both mitigation and adaptation measures. The states' targets to become carbon neutral after the Paris Agreement and the effects of the measures taken for these targets on international trade draw attention. The World Trade Organisation (WTO), which was established in 1995 as the continuation of the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), directs the trade policies and practices. In this study, it is aimed to examine the WTO rules and practices in the context of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, and to reveal the legal framework in which climate measures can/cannot find a place together with their reasons, by descriptive method. As a result, in order to combat climate change, it is necessary to make room for innovative rules and practices in the WTO, to deepen multilateral cooperation, and to eliminate both trade and climate asymmetries between countries. This issue is one of the complex and challenging dimensions of the climate change problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid urbanization movements seen around the world, there is an increase in the building stock. This increase is more evident in medium-sized cities that receive immigration and are developing. Cities are directly affected by the increasing regional and global warming with the building stock. At this point, the question of how cities will cope with climate change comes to the fore. It is seen that the studies on how the building stock formed by the housing construction, which gained momentum in the 2000s in Turkey, perform in the current climatic conditions and how it will perform when the changing conditions are taken into account, is seen to be insufficient. Therefore, this research article aims to investigate the performance and comfort conditions of the building stock, which has increased rapidly in urban areas in recent years, taking into account the current and future climatic conditions. Tokat, a medium-sized city, was chosen as the study area. As a result, a strategic emergency action plan proposal for cities in the context of combating the changing climate, adaptation and measures to be taken, and a model of the Tokat city climate change action plan preparation process steps model were presented. It is aimed that this study, which is carried out on a medium-sized city, will be used as a guide by other cities in urban design compatible with the changing climate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Climate change which has showing its effects more severely both on a global and national scale requires global and national measures to be taken. In that means, European Green Deal (EGD) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are thought that they are like qualified climate change mitigation appeal which attract attention. For his reason, it is very important for future policies to examine these two climate change mitigation calls in detail and to internalize what can be done in this framework. About this, advisories, implementations, and precautions which are assimilated by individuals and sectors are going to be the most important steps in terms of the target of climate change mitigation. Within this scope, energy, economy, land use, soil management and agricultural implementations regarding what can be done in the direction of EGD and SDGs are mentioned in this review, and Turkey's current situation and applicable strategy and methods with just transition are examined in detail. Research which is investigated in the study show that SDGs and EGD in terms of Turkey can achieve common goals with supporting R&D studies, developing applicable economic and environmental policies, and changing sectoral production habits and individual consumption habits. In this sense, it may be possible for adaptation strategies towards climate change impact and risk to succeed with implementation plan which will be specified by Turkey within climate change mitigation appeal which attract attention.

In recent years, due to climate change in cities, the severity and frequency of extreme air movements have increased and floods, landslides, heat waves and droughts, severe storms and hoses, sudden and heavy rainfalls adversely affect the viability of cities. The first steps on a global scale began in 1992 with the adoption of the UNFCCC, and international efforts continued with the Kyoto Protocol drafted in 1997 and the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. Although responsibilities are assigned to countries within the scope of these agreements, the lack of guidance and guidance on combating climate change and adaptation actions at the local level has been identified as an important deficiency. However, for the first time under the Quito Declaration in HABITAT-III, which was held every 20 years and lastly held in 2016, countries made a commitment to local climate action plans (LCAP). Accordingly, countries need to make and implement LCAP. The aim of this study is to make proposals on legislation and policy space for effective preparation, implementation and monitoring of local climate action plans in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, based on the international agreements, documents and reports on this subject, the current situation of the relevant policy documents, especially the primary legislation changes is evaluated. In addition, recommendations are developed by taking sectoral and local priorities into consideration for adaptation to climate change. While Turkey combats global climate change with its national circumstances and capacities; National Communications, Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory and Climate Change Strategy Plans can be strengthened by LCAP. In this study, it is proposed that legislation of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, Metropolitan Municipalities, Municipalities and Special Provincial Administrations should be revised according to effective preparation of LCAP. In addition, sectoral measures for adaptation and mitigation to climate change are identified. Finally, recommendations are developed for the revising the Coordination Committee for Climate Change and Air Management in order to monitoring and evaluation of LCAP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turkey is an Annex-I country under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and therefore submits its Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and removals from anthropogenic sources to the UNFCCC secretariat on an annual basis, through a National GHG Inventory Report (NIR). GHG emissions and removals from Land Use, Land Use and Forestry (LULUCF) constitute one of the main sectors in this report. One of the major land use categories in this sector is Forestland, and harvests in this category must be considered as a direct GHG emission to the atmosphere, unless the fate of the Harvested Wood Products (HWP) is reported. In this study, we estimated the carbon sequestration in the HWP category of the Turkish NIR, according to the 2006 Guidelines for GHG inventory in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector, from the International Panel of Experts on Climate Change (IPCC). This is the first time such an estimate of carbon stocks and carbon stock changes in the HWP pool has been carried out in Turkey. The calculation has been done in Tier 2. We used United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Timber database disaggregated figures for HWP produced in Turkey from 1964 to 2013. We focused on the two main HWP categories, which are sawnwood and wood-based panels. Comparing UNECE data series with Orman Genel Müdürlügü (OGM, the Republic of Turkey, General Directorate of Forestry) data series for industrial roundwood over 1976-2013 (starting date for OGM data series), we noticed some anomalies (with UNECE data series as a basis: max: +47%, min = -23%, mean = +16%). Thus, the UNECE data on sawnwood and wood based panels were corrected based on OGM data. These anomalies could be due to: (i) use of volume over bark for UNECE and volume under bark for OGM (+15% for volume over bark), and (ii) integration of industrial roundwood coming from the private sector for UNECE. In order to ensure coherence, we then corrected the 1976-2013 UNECE data series for sawnwood and wood-based panels production taking into account for each year the percentage of anomaly. However, from 1976 to 1982, the anomalies are much reduced (-1% in average), which allow using the UNECE data series from 1964 to 1975. We estimated the average share of each HWP over the last ten years: 48% for sawnwood and 38% for wood-based panels. The 14% of other HWP are not considered in the analysis, either because they are short-lived products or marginal or difficult to estimate. A projection of HWP has been done until 2020 based on 2 alternative scenarios based on OGM strategy documents: intensive harvesting and extensive harvesting. For each scenario, intensive vs extensive, we disaggregated the 2013-2020 volume of industrial roundwood into the two HWPs, using the calculated percentages. The results of our analysis revealed that the HWP pool can add 3.14 Gg CO2 eq yr-1 additional removal to LULUCF sector in the GHG inventory of Turkey for 2013 compared to 1990. The amount of contribution is estimated to rise up to 13.70 Mt CO2 eq yr-1, and 10.99 Mt CO2 eq yr-1 for intensive and extensive scenarios that are developed based on OGM strategic plans in 2020.
