The Struggle of Vulnerable Groups with Climate Change on the Example of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality
Abstract
Whilst occupying only 2 percent of the world’s surface area. Cities are home to more than 55 percent of the world’s population as of 2018, which is estimated to reach about 68 percent by 2050 Ostensibly, cities are not just geographical places and infrastructures as such; they need to be taken into account with their inhabitants. Rapid urbanization has changed the demography of the cities and deepened their vulnerability by creating various socio-economic status groups. It is accepted that it is more vulnerable to climate change. Urban and socially vulnerable groups are most affected by this vulnerability. In the literature, these groups are defined as children, women, youth, elderly, disabled and immigrants. Especially when evaluated in terms of developing countries like our country; vulnerable groups such as women, the disabled, immigrants, minorities, children, the elderly and young people are more vulnerable and vulnerable to climate change. The main question of this study is to what extent vulnerable groups are included in the policy documents prepared at the local level within the scope of combating climate change. The main answer to this question will be tried to be given through the policy documents produced by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in the field of climate change.
