The other internet-based application is e-YIDEP. Designed as a tool within the Climate Portal,
e-YIDEP is designed as a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for the actions included in the
climate change action plans of local governments and enables local governments to enter their
greenhouse gas inventories on an annual basis. The actions to be included in the plan, responsible
and relevant organizations will be entered into the system and the progress of the actions to be
determined will be monitored.

In addition, a draft by-law and technical guidelines are being prepared by the Climate Change
Directorate of the MoEUCC Climate Change Department in order to determine the administrative
and technical basis and principles for the preparation, approval, implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of Local Climate Change Action Plans in the provinces. In line with the By-Law, it is
aimed to prepare a holistic Local Climate Change Action Plan in 81 provinces, which includes the
greenhouse gas emission inventory of the province and determines climate change adaptation
and greenhouse gas mitigation actions.

Preparation of Local Climate Change Action Plans for Tekirdağ, Çanakkale and Yalova Provinces
Project: Within the scope of the project on Preparation of Local Climate Change Action Plans for
Çanakkale, Tekirdağ and Yalova Provinces, carried out by the MoEUCC and TUBITAK-MAM, local
climate change action plans for these three provinces were finalized.

Strengthening Climate Change Adaptation Action in Türkiye Project (IPA II): This is a comprehen-
sive project which includes updating the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and Action
Plan, developing Local Climate Change Adaptation Action Plans (YUSEP) for Konya, Muğla, Sakarya,
Samsun provinces, developing a portal on climate change called Climate Portal and providing 6.8
million Euros grant support for adaptation studies.

European Union Partnership for Local Climate Action in Türkiye Project (IPA III): The project, fi-
nanced by the European Union, started on 1 May 2023. The project is implemented by the United
Nations Development Programme Türkiye Office and the beneficiary is the Ministry of Environ-
ment, Urbanization and Climate Change/Directorate of Climate Change. The project duration is 60
months and the project budget is EUR 22,206,000 in total. Of this budget, EUR 7,500,000 is alloca-
ted for Technical Assistance and EUR 14,706,000 is allocated for Grants.

The overall objective of the project is to support Türkiye’s efforts to combat climate change by
enhancing implementation capacity at local level, which will ultimately contribute to sustainable,
low carbon and climate resilient development. The ultimate objective is to improve Türkiye’s cli-
mate change mitigation and adaptation capacity at the local level.

Within the scope of the project, activities related to Türkiye’s climate projections will be carried
out in the IPCC AR6 period; updating and improving the resolution of SSP (Shared Socioeconomic
Pathways) scenarios, preparing the model for the first time in Türkiye with a resolution of up to 3
kilometers in line with current SSP scenarios, developing climate change action plans that include
adaptation and mitigation components for 6 pilot provinces (Kahramanmaraş, Elazığ, Antalya, Is-
parta, Ordu, Kastamonu), developing web-based decision support tools to support local climate
action on the climate portal, and carrying out capacity building and training activities, establishing
a regulatory framework for Local Climate Change Action Plans, and implementing a grant program
with a budget of 14,700,000.
