İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİNİN ÖNLENMESİNDE GIDA VE TARIMA İLİŞKİN DAVRANIŞ DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ TEMELLİ AZALTIM STRATEJİLERİ

Öz

Sanayi Devrimi sonrası artan antropojenik aktiviteler nedeniyle iklim değişikliğinin Dünya üzerindeki etkisi her geçen gün daha da artmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalar, iklim değişikliği krizinin artık devrilme noktasına ulaştığını göstermektedir. Ekosistemlerde, küresel yüzey sıcaklıklarında ve iklim sistemlerinde çok büyük yıkıcı etkileri olan bu noktanın aşılması, gezegenimiz için telafisi mümkün olmayan sonuçlarla karşılaşmak anlamına gelmektedir. Bu durum önümüzdeki yüzyıl boyunca iklim değişikliğinin başat sebebi olarak bilinen sera gazı emisyonların azaltılmasının önemini daha da arttırmıştır. Bu çalışmada Paris Anlaşması’nda koyulan ve 2050 yılında gerçekleştirilmek istenen net sıfır karbon hedefine ulaşabilmek için gıda ve tarıma ilişkin bireysel davranış değişikliği temelli azaltım stratejileri üzerinde durulmuştur. Davranış değişikliklerinin hangi şartlarda ne kadar zamanda ve ne tür etkiler oluşturabileceği ılımlı ve iyimser senaryolar çerçevesinde aktarılmıştır. Nihayetinde ise gıda ve tarıma ilişkin davranış değişikliği temelli azaltım stratejilerinin, ulusüstü kuruluşlar ve devletler tarafından teşvik edilip uygun altyapıların oluşturulması halinde, başarıya ulaşılabileceği yargısına ulaşılmıştır.

MITIGATION STRATEGIES BASED ON BEHAVIORAL CHANGE REGARDING FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN PREVENTING CLIMATE CHANGE

Öz

The impact climate change on Earth due to increasing anthropogenic activities after the Industrial Revolution is increasing day by day. Research shows that the climate change crisis has now reached the tipping point. Exceeding this point, which has huge devastating effects on ecosystems, global surface temperatures and climate systems, means facing irreparable consequences for our planet. This situation has further increased the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are known to be the main cause of climate change over the next century. Study focused on mitigation strategies based on behavioral change regarding food and agriculture in order to achieve the net zero carbon target set in the Paris Agreement. The effects of behavioral changes are explained within the framework of moderate and optimistic scenarios. Finally, it was concluded that mitigation strategies based on behavioral change regarding food and agriculture can be successful if certain conditions are met.
