Özet:
Human-induced climate change causes widespread degradation of nature and affects the lives of
billions of people worldwide. In the Climate Change report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), published in 2022, it is clearly emphasized that it is not possible for both humans
and the ecosystem to combat these negative effects by addressing the effects, risks and adaptations
of climate change. European Green Deal prepared by the European Commission, a series of policies
have been developed that aim to make climate neutral, turn climate and environmental challenges
into opportunities in all policy areas, and enable the transition to a competitive economy by using
resources efficiently. Within the scope of harmonization with the European Green Agreement, Turkey
accepted the Paris Agreement and set a net zero emission target for 2050. A Green Deal Action Plan
was prepared by the Ministry of Trade in order to contribute to Turkey’s transition to a sustainable and
resource-efficient economy and to address the effects on industry, agriculture, energy and transportation
policies. Main actions under the Action Plan to reach the related goals have been determined as
limiting carbon emissions, a green and circular economy, green financing, a clean, economic and safe
energy supply, sustainable agriculture, sustainable smart travels, combating against climate change,
establishing diplomacy principles and raising awareness regarding the European Green Deal.
Cooperation for Climate and Green Deal Symposium has been accepted as nearly 150 papers, posters
and oral presentations from Turkey and the world. In addition, it is aimed to raise awareness by
organizing exhibitions and workshops on different topics related to climate change. First of all, I
would like to express my deepest gratitude to our Rector, Mr. Yavuz Ünal, who deemed it appropriate
to preside over such a symposium, to the organizing committee, to the supporting institutions and to
the sponsor companies.
