Özet:

The agenda-setting of the climate change policy in Turkey goes back to the acceptance process of the Kyoto Protocol. From this process, central administration begins to develop certain policies and measures at the same time to make institutional structures. In this work, the interest will be to question the formulation and the implementation of a structured and integrated public policy on climate change in Turkey. In the literature, academics point out that until the Kyoto Protocol process, the question is conceived in a logic of foreign policy of the State. Unfortunately, this perception is far from being replaced since that date until today. Turkey relying on the narrative of "special circumstances" adopts a reticent approach vis-à-vis the sine qua non objective of international negotiations to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The non-adoption of the Paris Agreement continues and reinforces this positioning. In Turkey, the central administration, as in its environmental policy, prefers to focus its economic and industrial ambitions in the face of climate change emergencies. From this perspective, energy policies and development policies seem to determine and delineate any possible initiative regarding climate change policy. At the local level, the initiatives of local authorities come up against administrative centralization, a phenomenon that has reappeared and has been reinforced since 2010. In this context, the central administration limits the voluntary actions and the capacity of local governments by top-down interventions. By referring to these various factors and issues, this work aims to examine the charasteristics and limits of climate change policy in Turkey, according to the objective of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
