Description
The core objective of the Joint Programme is to develop capacity for managing climate change risks to rural and coastal development in Turkey. This will be achieved by mainstreaming climate change adaptation into the national development framework, building capacity in national and regional institutions, piloting community-based adaptation projects in the Seyhan River Basin, and integrating climate change adaptation into all UN agencies in Turkey.
Expected Outcomes
1. Climate change adaptation mainstreamed into Turkey’s plans. 2. Institutional capacity developed for managing climate-risks, including disasters. 3. Capacity for community-based adaptation in the Seyhan River Basin developed.
