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.
