About
Overview:Turkey is strongly affected by Climate Change (CC) but its first National Communication to the UNCFCCC (Framework Convention on Climate Change) was done only in 2007. Evidence of CC effects has been widely documented through climate modeling, showing drastic changes that will affect the country in many ways: decreased precipitation and increase in summer temperature, reduction of surface waters by some 35%, increase in the crop water demand by some 20%, coastal erosion and flooding, and increased frequency of natural disasters. Water stress is already apparent in many parts of Turkey, exacerbated by rising demand in many sectors, particularly agriculture. Faced with this scenario, implementation of highly effective water conservation initiatives across all sectors is required. Technological changes in irrigation and water distribution systems are also required. The Joint Programme aims at integrating Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) into national, regional and local policies within the framework of Turkey’s future development targets. To do this and develop national strategies to address CCA and develop capacity for managing CC risks in rural and coastal development in the country, the programme is structured around three pillars:
This is supported by four specific outcomes that are in turn subdivided by 14 outputs. One of the major results focused on outcome 3 that involved the implementation of 18 different pilot projects in the Seyhan River Basin, with quantified and qualitative results demonstrating the results achieved. At the policy level, the JP supported the drafting of the National CCA Strategy. The analysis of the strategy also led to a review of CCA in the existing legislation and recommendations for its inclusion across all sectors.
