İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİYLE MÜCADELEDE BİR ARAÇ OLARAK KARBON NÖTR KENT UYGULAMASI: KOPENHAG ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

İklim değişikliğiyle mücadelede dekarbonizasyon politikaları merkezî bir konuma sahiptir. Kentler, küresel enerji tüketimi ve sera gazı emisyonlarının büyük kısmından sorumlu olmaları nedeniyle dekarbonizasyon açısından en stratejik mekânsal ölçeği oluşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede kentlerdeki siyasi ve sivil örgütlenmeler tarafından çeşitli emisyon hedefleri belirlendiği görülmektedir. Son dönemde öne çıkan emisyon hedeflerinden biri de karbon nötrlüktür. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, karbon nötr kent uygulamalarının iklim değişikliğiyle mücadelede ne ölçüde etkili sonuçlar doğurduğu, Kopenhag’ın karbon nötrlük hedefine ulaşmak amacıyla hayata geçirdiği uygulamalar ekseninde değerlendirilmektedir.

CARBON-NEUTRAL CITY IMPLEMENTATION AS A TOOL FOR COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE: THE CASE OF COPENHAGEN

Öz

Decarbonization policies play a central role in combating climate change. As cities are responsible for the majority of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, they represent the most strategic spatial scale for decarbonization. Within this framework, various emission targets have been set by political and civil organizations in cities. Carbon neutrality has emerged as one of the prominent emission targets in recent years. Against this background, the study evaluates the extent to which carbon-neutral city practices produce effective results in combating climate change, through the lens of the measures implemented by Copenhagen to achieve its carbon neutrality target.
