Özet:
Among the methods of combating climate
change, the adaptation and mitigation strategies developed by countries have
led to transformations in the approaches and implementation methods for
different sectors such as buildings, transportation, waste, agriculture, land
use, and energy. The Net Zero Carbon (NZC) approach, which is frequently
encountered in the context of buildings and the environmental scale, is a
practically new approach that highlights the need for countries to commit to
high emission reductions on a sectoral basis. NZC is defined in each country
with its own implementation criteria and capabilities, and there is no complete
definition or implementation model. This study is based on Local Climate Change
Action Plans (LCCAPs) and emission reduction actions prepared by
municipalities, provinces, and districts in Turkey, Net Zero Cities Contracts,
and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to create an implementation
model. The study aims to create a system that enables the cross-scale
measurement of the integration of the NZC approach at the building and
environmental scales through Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans
(SECAP) for Turkey. In total, 30 metropolitan municipalities in Turkey and the
district municipalities were included in the study and examined in terms of
their mitigation and adaptation commitments on international platforms and
their net zero emission targets for 2030/2053. The proposed NZC integration
matrix evaluates the implementation parameters of the relevant municipality at
the building, environment, and building + environment scales. The results of
this thesis highlight the need for scaled-up actions and an integration model
towards NZC targets, and support the creation of a basis for an NZC
implementation guideline that can be used towards the 2030 and 2050 emission
reduction targets.
