In order to mitigate these impacts, various international climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have been established. These agreements are primarily based on key principles such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting the use of renewable energy sources, and adopting sustainable development goals, particularly between developed and developing countries. Cities, while hosting a significant portion of the global population, also account for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the impact of climate agreements on cities is not only limited to environmental factors but also creates deep effects on economic and social structures. Cities are undergoing a major transformation process in order to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change, and in this process, the regulatory role of international climate agreements is becoming increasingly evident (Satterthwaite, 2008., Swilling, & Annecke, 2012). Beylikdüzü, a district in Istanbul, Turkey, presents an important case for showcasing how this transformation is taking shape at the local level and the effects of international climate policies on urban life. This study aims to examine the feasibility of climate agreements in the Beylikdüzü district and the reflections of these implementations on local environmental, economic, and social dynamics.}, number={2}, publisher={Istanbul University}
