KAHRAMANMARAŞ SERA GAZI EMİSYON ENVANTERİ VE İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ EYLEM PLANLARI

Öz

İklim değişikliğinin etkilerine karşı mücadele etmek, özellikle kentsel ısı adası etkisini azaltmak ve daha sağlıklı, sürdürülebilir bir çevre sağlamak için yerel yönetimlerin, ulusal ölçekte belirlenen politikaları yerel düzeyde uygulama ve yayma konusunda çok önemli görevleri vardır. Yerel yönetimler, kendi özel koşullarını göz önünde bulundurarak ulusal politikalarla uyumlu stratejiler geliştirip, bu sorunu çözmek için yerel ölçekte eylem planları hazırlamalıdır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada, Kahramanmaraş ilinin sera gazı envanteri hazırlanmış ve şehre özel olarak uygulanabilecek iklim değişikliği eylem planları ile bu planların emisyon azaltımına katkıları belirlenmiştir. Belirtilen eylemlerde, enerji verimliliği, yenilenebilir enerji, atık yönetimi ve ağaçlandırma alanlarına odaklanmaktadır. Öne çıkan önlemler arasında binalarda enerji verimliliğini artırma (yalıtım, enerji verimli aydınlatma) ve kömür tüketiminin azaltılması yer almakta ve bu önlemler ile toplamda 152.550 ton, yeni kentsel gelişimlerde enerji verimli planlama ile 5.462 ton, ticaret sektöründe enerji verimliliği önlemleriyle 40.048 ton, toplu taşımanın genişletilmesi ve alternatif yakıtların teşvik edilmesi ile 41.377 ton, çatı üstü fotovoltaik sistemler aracılığıyla yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı ile 69.045 ton, atık yönetiminde iyileştirmeler yani özellikle geri dönüşüm ile, 4.113 ton ve ağaçlandırma çalışmaları 2.891 ton CO2 emisyon azaltımı sağlanabileceği belirlenmiştir. Bu eylemler ile toplamda 315.486 ton CO2 emisyonu azaltımı gerçekleştirilerek, Kahramanmaraş’ın iklim değişikliğiyle mücadele ve sürdürülebilirlik çabalarına önemli katkılar sağlanabileceği düşünülmektedir.

KAHRAMANMARAŞ GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSION INVENTORY AND CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLANS

Abstract

To combat the effects of climate change, especially the urban heat island effect, and provide a healthier, more sustainable environment, local governments play a crucial role in implementing national policies at the local level. Local governments must develop action plans tailored to their specific conditions, aligned with national strategies. In this context, a greenhouse gas inventory was prepared for Kahramanmaraş, and climate change action plans were identified to reduce emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. The proposed actions focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste management, and afforestation. Key measures include improving energy efficiency in buildings (insulation, energy-efficient lighting) and reducing coal consumption, resulting in a total reduction of 152,550 tons of CO2 emissions. Energy-efficient urban planning in new developments is projected to reduce emissions by 5,462 tons, while energy efficiency measures in the commercial sector could lead to a reduction of 40,048 tons. Expanding public transportation and promoting alternative fuels are expected to save 41,377 tons of emissions. Renewable energy adoption, particularly through rooftop photovoltaic systems, could reduce emissions by 69,045 tons. Improvements in waste management, particularly recycling, would lower emissions by 4,113 tons, and afforestation efforts are estimated to reduce emissions by 2,891 tons. In total, these measures are projected to achieve a reduction of 315,486 tons of CO2 emissions, significantly contributing to Kahramanmaraş’s efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainability.
