Özet:

Climate change, which is among the biggest environmental problems of today, affects the lives of all living things economically, socially, and environmentally, both in the city and on a global scale. Especially in the climate change process, which has inevitable effects on urban systems and population, action plans come to the fore within the framework of the concepts of climate resilience and vulnerability. Thanks to these plans, mitigation and adaptation policies are produced against negative situations that arise or are predicted to occur in cities. The effects of climate change on each city are different. In this context, it is an important requirement for urban actors to determine their degree of combating the effects of climate change and their adaptation capacities in cooperation. This study, it was aimed to evaluate successful climate action plans in the world and in Turkey in the process of combating climate change. In this context, first of all, successful climate action plans were determined and examined by literature review. Then, common policies and strategies were determined and suggestions were developed to prepare the ground for the climate change struggle processes of other cities.
