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 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

NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN
• NCCAP has been prepared by a participatory approach within the coordination of Ministry of Environment and Urbanization during 2009–2011.
• NCCAP has been accepted by the Coordination Board on Climate Change (CBCC) on May 2011.
• Vulnerability fields to shape the National Adaptation Strategy and actions:
PROJECTIONS OF TURKEY
• 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.
