Hava Kirletici Emisyonlari ve İklim Değişikliği: Ankara Örneği

Öz

Antropojenik iklim değişikliği ve mücadelesi günümüzde önemi belirgin olmakla beraber sonrası süreçte de etkileri üzerinden öne çıkması beklenen ekonomi politik bir alandır. Nüfusun çoğunluğunun kentlerde yaşadığı ve kentlerin, krizlerin merkezinde yer aldığı kabul edildiğinde, çoklu ve birbirine bağlı bu risklerden en çok etkilenen yine kentler olmaktadır. Özellikle hızlı kentleşme ile beraber kentlerin dirençliliği zayıflamakta uyarlanabilir kapasitelerinin ötesinde maruziyet düzeyleri ve kırılganlıkları artmaktadır. Dolayısıyla iklim değişikliği ile mücadele, yalnızca teknik olarak uyum ve azaltım eylemlerinin değil sosyoekonomik faktörler ile çevresel yönetişimi de kapsayan bir risk yönetim süreci olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Bu çalışmada; bir risk yönetim süreci olarak iklim değişikliğinin başlıca nedeni olan sera gazı ve hava kirletici emisyonlarının azaltımının yerel ölçekte ele alınmasının bu süreçteki etkinliği artıracağına vurgu yapılmıştır. Bu çerçevede Ankara ilçeleri özelinde SOX, NOX, PM10 hava kirleticilerin dağılım durumları incelenerek iklim mücadelesi ile ilişkisi değerlendirilmiştir.

Air Pollutants Emissions and Climate Change: The Ankara Case

Öz

Anthropogenic climate change and its struggle is an economic-political area that is expected to be prominent in terms of its effects in the future, although its importance is evident today. When it is accepted that the majority of the population lives in cities and that cities are at the center of crises, cities are again the most affected by these multiple and interconnected risks. Especially with rapid urbanization, the resilience of cities is weakening, and their exposure levels and vulnerabilities are increasing beyond their adaptive capacity. Therefore, combating climate change should be evaluated as a risk management process that includes not only technical adaptation and mitigation actions but also socioeconomic factors and environmental governance. In this study, it was emphasized that addressing the reduction of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, which are the main causes of climate change, at a local scale as a risk management process will increase the effectiveness of this process. In this context, the distribution status of SOX, NOX, PM10 air pollutants was examined in Ankara districts and their relationship with the climate struggle was evaluated.
