Abstract

Climate change which emerges as a result of global warming is one of the main problems human being faces in 21st century. Because of its negative effects that can pose a big threat such as human health, ecosystems, even increase in new generations the climate change which is regarded as a problem causing very serious socio-economic results has much importance in the international platform especially in recent years. It is scientifically proven that countries located in Mediterranean Basin including our own country will be affected from climate change seriously. In Paris summit (2015) enough countries agreed to support the agreement about the new climate regime that is about to set up and the emission increase rate was restricted. The aim of this is to restrict the emission increase rate. It was agreed to put the law into force that was accepted in COP 21 (2015) from 2020 on. Our country thinks that the new system should be fair which evaluates every country with its own socio-economic data. In other words, all of the countries in the new regime should take responsibilities according to the principle â�?�?common but differentiated responsibilitiesâ�? and â�?�?specific opportunity and abilitiesâ�?. But the new protocol which will be accepted with the agreement should be in harmony with necessity and realities of the 21st century, the idea that responsibilities demand dynamic quality should be taken into consideration. In this study, strategies about climate change in Turkey and possible precautions that can be taken as a result of Paris summit are mentioned. Turkey is making the necessary arrangements in harmony with the development aims, improving the cooperation among other countries, joining the influential participation to the national and international studies in order to prevent previous negative experiences, compensate the current loss, leave a clean environment for the next generations.
