(2011) covering the period 2010-2023 and Türkiye’s Climate Change Risk
Management (2012) are considered as two fundamental documents towards
determining the framework for the effects of climate change and climate
change adaptation (Kazancı, 2019: 35; Tayanç et al, 2009: 491). Additionally,
the 11th 5-year Development Plan prepared in 2919 focuses largely on energy
security and use of resources. These three documents form the basis of
most of the climate change policies and measures at a national level. The
documents below on climate change prepared by international institutions as
well as national institutions in Türkiye are reviewed from the perspective urban
growth perspective (Table 3).
