This project is addressing one of the main issues identified in the UNDCS Outcome 3: Strengthened policy formulation and implementation capacity for the protection of the environment and cultural heritage in line with sustainable development principles, taking into consideration climate change, including disaster management, with a special focus on gender perspective and UNDP Country Program Document (2010 - 2014), through Outcome 3: Strengthening policy formulation and implementation capacity for the protection of the environment, and cultural heritage in line with sustainable development principles and taking into consideration climate change and disaster management; Enhanced climate-resilient, pro-poor and gender-sensitive policies, institutions and programs are mainstreamed, developed and implemented at the national and local levels for strengthened sustainable development (CP Output 3.1) National capacity for environmental efficiency and monitoring enhanced through improved data collection and information systems (CP Output 3.2) Strengthening capacities for National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and Climate Change Action Plan development and implementation with gender differentiated impacts (CP Output 3.4).
The overall strategy of Turkey, as a developing country, is to make its contribution to the global efforts in combating climate change while taking into account her national capacity and special circumstances. Turkey takes actively part in the negotiations for the post-2020 regime with a proper status that should reflect her socio-economic development level. In this framework, Turkey by being a party to Kyoto Protocol shell position herself to take part of the global action to combat climate change.
The outcome of the project is to assist the Republic of Turkey in implementation of obligations under UNFCCC by preparation of First Biennial Report (FBR) as well as to strengthen its technical and institutional capacities to help the government fulfill its commitments to the Convention.
Completion of the First NC enhanced the capacity of institutions, raised professional level of experts and decision makers, and improved the management and organization of work connected with the climate change. The preparation of the Fifth NC further strengthened these capacities and also provided opportunities for additional analysis and capacity building for Turkey in perspective of the post 2020 climate regime. Furthermore, technical, political, legislative, economic and institutional analysis of the relevant sectors completed and will provide the baseline information to develop Turkey’s climate change road map for post 2020. The preparation of the First Biennial Report will further strengthen national capacities for technical reporting in line with BR guidelines, initiate the preparation of several NAMA concepts and enhance national capacities in MRV and sectoral assessments as well.
The project will provide links between climate change studies through the BR process to the wider national development agenda. The analysis will also combine necessary institutional framework in order to ensure consistency and sustainability of national communication process. To ensure stakeholders involvement and endorsement, the project will be implemented through multi-stakeholder consultations. This project is also aimed to cover the gaps that are identified during the UNFCCC In-Country Review of the National Communication.
The proposed project will consist of 7 components: 1. National circumstances reviewed and updated, institutional arrangements relevant to the preparation of the national communications and BR and level of support received to enable the preparation of the BR described; 2. National GHG Inventory for 2012 is reviewed and elaborated in line with BR requirements; 3. Mitigation actions and their effects, including associated methodologies and assumptions, and progress of implementation are described as per the guidelines; 4. Financial, technology and capacity building needs and support received described; 5. Domestic Measurement, Reporting and Verification arrangements are supported; 6.
