1. CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION EFFORTS OF TURKEY Ömer ÖZTÜRK Turkish Republic Ministry of Environment and Urbanization General Directorate of Environmental Management Department of Climate Change November 2012

2. Climate change is a development issue, and only sustainable development can confront the challenge...
Unsustainable development, in the past and the present, is the root cause of climate change.
Sustainable development is certainly a necessary, and probably a sufficient, condition for overcoming this challenge. Simply ‘adding on’ mitigative and adaptive strategies to unsustainable development will not work.

3. 3 PILLARS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION
POLICY
The efficient use of current policies in the context of climate change adaptation
The development of new policies and strategies
SCIENCE
Establishing tools that support adaptation efforts by using the best available technology and data
Making information available at all levels of the community
IMPLEMENTATION
Realizing adaptation implementation from local to central at varying scales and levels
Monitoring and evaluating processes from the economic, social and environmental aspects

TEMPERATURE
PRECIPITATION
Almost all simulations agree on ;
-Temperature increase in Turkey in the twenty first century. They also indicate
larger increases towards interior and eastern parts of Turkey.
-Precipitation reduction in winter in the Mediterranean, increase Black Sea region. - Reduction of spring runoff and an increase of winter runoff in the eastern Anatolia.
