Özet:

Today, there has been an increase in the quantity of environmental organizations and new environmental issues come to the fore by approaching environmental problems in a holistic way. With the understanding that the solution to environmental problems cannot be solved only by the decisions of the states, environmentalist non-governmental organizations began to be accepted as actors in international meetings with the participation of voluntary citizens who developed outside the state. It is seen that the policy-making processes of global non-governmental organizations through interaction with international organizations and the number and participation of non-governmental actors have increased in United Nations conferences. In this context, environmental non-governmental organizations, as an important actor in the policy-making process, become one of the important structures that affect the political structure that creates the pressure group on environmental problems. This study evaluates the development of environmental non-governmental organizations in Turkey by separating them into historical periods, after mentioning the functions of environmental non-governmental organizations with the development of the environmental movement. The study focuses on the structural status and characteristics of environmental organizations in Turkey and the organizational dimension against current environmental problems within the scope of their activities on environmental issues.
