TÜRKİYE'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROCESS IN FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF TURKISH ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin iklim değişikliği ile mücadele sürecinde etkinliği araştırılmıştır. İlk önce çevre yönetimi ve çevre mevzuatı, iklim değişikliği çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. İklim değişikliğinin ve olumsuz etkilerinin farkında olan Türkiye, aktif mücadelesini sürdürmektedir. Bunun için Türkiye, yasal ve yönetsel düzenlemelerle kendi çevre yönetimini ve çevre mevzuatını, taraf olduğu sözleşmelere ve protokollere göre yeniden düzenlemiştir. Daha sonra, iklim değişikliğinin temel sebebi olan sera gazı emisyon envanteri incelenmiştir. Türkiye’nin emisyon değerlerine bakıldığında, beyan ettiği taahhütlerden uzak olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.
